Year Two in the BIG EAST and a New Coach

The Virginia Tech men’s soccer team will look quite different this “Anytime you lose a great core of experienced players, you will fall. Five starting seniors are gone from a team that made the BIG have to mention the word ‘rebuilding’,” Weiss said. “However, a EAST tournament during its inaugural season in the league and good spring season left us all hopeful that we can bridge the gap finished .500 in conference play (4-4-2). A new head coach will lead with our strong group of seniors, underclassmen, and newly the Hokies. Oliver Weiss replaced Jerry Cheynet on February 1, recruited blue chips. It will be a challenge to return to the elite in 2002, to become only the third coach in Virginia Tech history. the BIG EAST, but I am confident that we will get the most out of Coach Cheynet will remain with the program until his retirement at our pool of talented players.” the end of the 2003 season. Wins over nationally-ranked Rutgers (3-2 in OT) and Syracuse Goalkeepers (2-0), along with a tie against Final Four participant St. John’s, were Who will replace the MVP from last year’s team, Colin Kibler? among the highlights of last year’s 11-6-2 season. A 2-1 overtime That’s probably been the most frequently-asked question over the loss in the BIG EAST quarterfinals to defending national champion past eight months. Kibler had a 0.90 goals-against average last fall and BIG EAST regular season champion, Connecticut, brought a and was clearly one of the reasons Tech had a great campaign. terrific season to a close. The answer was simple once the Hokies completed their spring Weiss will have his work cut out for him, but the goals for 2002 games. Junior Chris Davidovicz (Charlotte, N.C.) earned himself remain clear — to continue to improve upon Tech’s success in the the spot with his shutout performances against Davidson, the BIG EAST while rebuilding the team with young and hungry players. Richmond Kickers, and Radford. He gave up one goal in a tie with Some of these players played significant roles during the 2001 North Carolina. season; most of them will be tested for the first time. “If I had to pick our starting keeper after the spring, it would be Chris for sure,” Weiss said. “He was solid all spring and kept us in a couple of close games. However, everybody on the team knows that positions are earned day-in and day-out. I am sure Chris will defend his spot in the fall.” The two other returning keepers are sophomores Evan Mahan (Bethesda, Md.) and Jeff Graham (Lusby, Md.). Both are young and have been dedicated members of the team. Chase Harrison, a freshman from Huntington, W.Va., rounds out the goalie foursome.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) returns after Marine boot camp at Quantico this summer to the outside midfield spot for the Hokies. Two more freshmen complete the list of midfielders. Peer Rogge (Schleswig, Germany) played attacking midfield for his 5th division club, TSB Flensburg, last year. He should find his role to be similar with the Hokies. Freshman Charlie Howe (Mechanicsville, Va.) was an all- state selection in high school and can present problems for opponents with his feistiness and ball-winning qualities.

Forwards Junior Bobby O’Brien (Williamsburg, Va.) returns as the team’s second-leading scorer with seven goals and four assists last year. During the spring, O’Brien grew with every training session into his role as the program’s target man on the field. His lethal head balls and unconventional scoring methods make him unpredictable. Senior Drew Myers (High Point, N.C.) returns as the team’s third- most potent point-getter. His five goals and two assists should double this year if he can stay healthy. Myers was sidelined with a shoulder injury all spring, but has fully recovered and is poised to leave his mark on the field come August. Another threat in the attack will come from Virginia Beach sophomore Bailey Allman. Allman’s cunning passing skills and nose for the goal should make it difficult for opposing defenders to keep him from scoring. Blacksburg’s own Dustin Bond is the program’s fourth forward. Bond, a senior, has a terrific work rate and should get opportunities to strike at goal with his powerful shot. The Hokies will embark on their second BIG EAST season full of hope and excitement. They hope to improve upon last year’s Senior co-captain Greg Medsker returns on defense for the Hokies. success and to be in position to receive an NCAA Tournament bid. Defenders The one area that seems to have been least affected by graduation is the Tech defense. Garret Owens will be missed from last fall’s four-man back line. Senior Keith Benderoth (Woodbridge, Va.) may be the most experienced returnee. His tenacity and resilience will set the standard for excellence in keeping teams off the board. Junior Harold Russell (Swarthmore, Pa.) should also be in top form after nursing an injury for most of the spring season. His determination and tackling ability should help the Hokie defense. Senior Greg Medsker (Fredericksburg, Va.) played well at center back during spring training and will more than likely find a spot in that capacity or as a sweeper. Another senior back, Michael Piranian (Lexington, Va.), is expected to give the team much needed experience after redshirting in 2000 and playing in 13 games last fall. “It’s very comforting to walk into a team with this much experience in the backfield,” Weiss said about his defenders. One newcomer should also bring a wealth of experience to the Hokies this fall, but by virtue of age. Lasse Mertins (Rotenburg, Germany) can play any defensive position or defensive midfield. The 24-year- old Mertins will join the men’s soccer program for two years while working on a masters’ degree. He played the last two years in the German 4th division with Rotenburger SV.

Midfield The departure of Tech’s career assist leader, Fred Silva, along with Ty Enmark and Jeremy Parsels, leaves a big hole in the midfield. Senior Captain Rob Smith (Greenville, S.C.) will help direct teammates in the center of the field with his leadership and experience. Park Ridge, N.J., native Eric Prigot, also a senior, must aid Smith in organizing the team from his central position. Prigot found the back of the net several times in the spring and is expected to continue the scoring trend in the fall. John Havas (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) will see time on the right outside position. His speed should cause problems for other teams. Sophomores Kenny Jonmaire (East Aurora, N.Y.) and Justin Bogner (Omaha, Neb.) will play dual roles as midfielders and forwards. Both are versatile enough to make an impact in both positions. Senior Karl Schlegel Keith Benderoth started all 19 games for the Hokies last season. 3 2 0 0 2 V I R G I N I A T E C H M E N ’ S S O C C E R

We are also playing in the toughest soccer conference in the country, and our soccer facilities are being developed to that same standard. I can honestly say that the future of our program is very bright if we commit ourselves to hard work and excellence.” — Coach Oliver Weiss
