UINN FIELD AT ROBERTSON STADIUM Q THE HOME OF THE COUGARS

JOHN O’ Artist’s Rendering

The University of Houston soccer team has called John O’Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium its home since the team’s inception in 1998. The Cougars have seen the stadium’s landscape change several times over the years, but it has maintained its quality as one of the top home field in Conference USA. A massive renovation of Robertson Stadium took place in 1999, thanks to a $6 million gift from the John and Julie O’Quinn Foundation to the University of Houston. In addition to the 20 luxury suites added in the summer of 1998, “Phase I” entailed replacement of the current track with a ring of tiered seating, bringing the stadium’s capacity to 32,000. To accommodate this tiered seating, the entire playing field was lowered nine feet. In recognition of John and Julie O’Quinn’s generosity and loyal sup- port, the field at Robertson Stadium was named “John O’Quinn Field.” Robertson Stadium, as it is known today, was originally constructed in 1941 as a joint project of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a federal agency created by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. In 1940, HISD purchased the land now bound by Holman, Cullen, Scott and Wheeler streets and passed a resolution in March 1941, to provide $650,000 to build the stadium. The new stadium was named Houston Public School Stadium and served as the site for all home football games for area high schools. The first game was held September 18, 1942, when Lamar High School defeated Adamson High School of Dallas 26-7 before a crowd of 14,500. The University of Houston’s inaugural football game in the stadium was against Southwestern Louisiana on September 21, 1946. The HISD School Board renamed the stadium Jeppesen Stadium in 1958. UH bought Jeppesen Stadium in 1970 and the stadium was rededicated as Robertson Stadium in 1980 to honor former UH Board of Regents member and Athletics Committee Chairman Corbin J. Robertson. Robertson Stadium underwent a $2 million facelift in 1983 when Houston hosted the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Smaller projects readied the stadium for home games in 1995 and 1996, including erecting the scoreboard, which sat in front of where Jeppesen Fieldhouse used to stand. During the summer of 2006, Robertson became the home of the Houston Dynamo, a franchise. Following the Dynamo’s entry into the Houston market, UH upgraded both the playing surface and lighting system, ensuring that no portable lighting will be needed for television purposes. A new scoreboard and video replay board was also added.

Cougars Primed To Build On Success Found In 2005

n the heels of a record-setting 2005 season, the University of Houston soccer team looks to use the foundation laid last season as a stepping stone to greater O things during the 2006 campaign. Ten letterwinners and six returning starters will combine with 13 newcomers on this season’s squad. Of the returners, Sophia Mundy (Sr.-MF), Courtney Gaines (So.-MF) and Sarah Fisher (Sr.-F) lead the way. That trio combined for 20 of UH’s 41 goals last season with Mundy knocking in a single-season record mark of 13. 2006 OUTLOOK Solberg will rely heavily on his five-member senior class as they are the core leadership of the squad. Fisher, who tallied five goals and a pair of assists last season, has made 55 career starts and should become UH’s all-time leader this season, eclipsing the mark of 59, held by Ashley Fortenberry and Juli Murphy. “Fish has been a stalwart the previous three years,” Solberg said. “She’s always been the fittest player on the field and will lead by example with her work ethic. Mundy, who transferred to UH prior to last season, established herself as one of the best players in school history last year. She set school records for points (33), points per game (1.83), goals (14), goals per game (0.78), shots (95), shots per game (5.28), shots on goal (47) and shots on goal per game (2.61). She ranked 24th nationally in goals per game and 27th in points per game. She’s a dynamic player in the center of midfield that has also at- tracted national attention as well. This past spring, Mundy trained with the U-21 U.S. National team, becoming the first player in UH history to do so. “Sophia will be the most experienced player on the field,” Solberg said. “She brings a scor- ing mentality to the offense. She’s talented and equally as hard a worker.” Defender Kristen Cooper missed all but six games last season due to injuries. She is a valuable player because of her versatility as she can play all the way across the back. “Coop has experience, which we will need this season,’ Solberg said. “She’s going to compete for time and is a tremendous chemistry person for our team.” Jennifer Dry made 14 starts last year, playing forward, midfielder and later in the season, on defense. She had three goals and an assist and is an asset to the squad not only due to her versatility, but also for her leadership. “Jennifer is an important to us because of her mentality,” Solberg said. “She knows that she can play a number of positions and has experience at all of them. She understands how important that utility role is to us, especially later in the season.” Midfielder Heather Williams saw time in 10 games, earning six starts and hitting the back of the net three times. Like the rest of the seniors, her on-the-field contributions are as impor- tant to what she brings to the squad away from the field. 20 • MUNDY “Heather is an important chemistry player for us,” Sol- berg said. “She also brings a lot of judged by results and nothing else. technical skill to the table.

Head Coach Bill Solberg Seventh Year • Marquette ‘97

Bill Solberg, who led UH to a record-setting 2005 season, enters his seventh year heading up the UH soccer program. B Solberg, a standout collegiate midfielder, brought an attacking style of play with him to COACHING STAFF the Bayou City that paid dividends as UH set or tied 10 team records in 2005. The Cougars’ offense tallied a 2.39 goals per game average, ranking 24th nationally. Some of the records achieved in 2005 include team marks for points in a season (116), goals (43), points per game (6.44), goals per game (2.39), assists per game (1.67), shots (357), shots per game (19.83) and goals against average (1.10). The Cougars tied the team standards for shutouts (5) and ties (3). The Cougars 8-7-3 campaign in 2005 marked one of the top-20 turnarounds in NCAA Division I soccer and the best in C-USA. UH made its first trip to the C-USA Championship in three years after a disappointing 5-14 mark in 2004. Solberg tutored newcomer Sophia Mundy to a First-Team, All-C-USA season that saw her set several school records while ranking 24th nationally in goals per game (0.78) and 27th in points per game (1.83). She also became the first UH soccer player to be involved with the U.S. National Team, as she trained with the U-21 squad during the Spring of 2006. Freshman Courtney Gaines also blossomed under Solberg’s leadership, earning C- USA All-Freshman Team honors. Perhaps the biggest example of Solberg’s influence on the Cougars was on the defensive end of the field last year. Despite starting four freshmen on defense, UH allowed just 21 goals in 2005, the lowest total in school history. Solberg became head coach in 2000 and led UH to a 9-9-1 mark (5-5-1 C-USA) with his first two wins coming over UTEP and national-power Texas. UH tallied then-school-record marks with 40 goals on 268 shots. Both records stood until 2005. Solberg-coached teams have THE SOLBERG FILE made four appearances in the C- USA ChampionShip while 10 players have earned All C-USA honors and personal six have earned spots on the C-USA Born: Jan. 6, 1975 (Brookfield, Wis.)

The Soccer Hour airs every Wednesday from 9-10 p.m. CST on UH’s flagship station, ESPN 790. Cougar fans also can listen online at www.ESPN790.com. The show covers a wide variety of topics related to soccer, including national and international events. “This is just a fantastic opportunity for our program and the University as a whole,” head coach Bill Solberg said. “To be able to partner with someone like Glenn Davis and take advantage of his impact on the soccer world can do nothing but help us. This enables us to reach many people on a grass roots level and let them know what a quality product we put on the field here at UH. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I applaud our administration for making this happen.” Davis, a former professional soccer player and collegiate All-American, is widely regarded as one of the top soccer broadcasters in the nation. He has called some of the world’s most prestigious matches for ESPN/ABC, FOXSports and HDNet, including two World Cups (2002, 2006), action in the Italian Serie A, the UEFA Cup, Champions League, the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Championships and U.S. Men’s and Women’s National team matches.
