2 • Northern Kentucky University Men’s Soccer 2010 NCAA Division II National Champions 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Champions NKUDr. Scott Athletic Eaton Director Dr. Scott Eaton is entering his third year as the director of athletics at Northern Kentucky University. He assumed that role on July 27, 2009.
During Eaton’s two years as NKU’s director of athletics, the program has flourished and reached new heights in terms of community outreach and visibility. Since taking the position, Eaton has watched NKU win the 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference All-Sports Trophy and capture back-to- back GLVC Commissioner’s Cup awards.
In addition, the NKU men’s soccer program won the NCAA Division II national championship in 2010. It marked the first national title for a men’s sport at NKU.
The soccer national championship in 2010 coincided with the opening of the $6.5 million NKU Soccer Stadium. Eaton played a key role in the design and building of the new facility, which enabled NKU to move its games back to campus for the first time since 1998. As a result of the move back to campus, NKU ranked fourth nationally in attendance in 2010.
Under Eaton’s direction, NKU began participating in the Adopt-A-Class program this year, as Norse student-athletes and coaches adopted Newport Intermediate School as part of that initiative. Members of the NKU athletics department took frequent visits to Newport Intermediate as part of the Adopt-A-Class program, a non-profit organization dedicated to pairing classrooms in underserved urban schools with area businesses and community groups.
Eaton also developed an Olympic Day for Newport Intermediate School in the spring, as students from the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades visited the NKU campus and participated in many activities with coaches, student-athletes and staff.
NKU’s athletics programs also gained unprecedented commercial radio coverage during the past year on WQRT Real Talk (1160 AM). NKU basketball made the move back to the AM side of the dial after spending the previous four years on WIOK (107.5 FM). The move allowed listeners to enjoy the better strength of signal and additional promotional opportunities with the station.
NKU baseball was also broadcast on 1160 AM this spring, making the Norse the only team in the tri-state on commercial airwaves.
Eaton has served on various NCAA committees during his career, including the women’s basketball championships committee, the men’s basketball rules committee, and the NCAA research committee. He also spearheaded the strategic planning for NKU’s potential reclassification into Division I and played a major role in the university adding women’s track and field as a varsity sport.
Eaton’s efforts also helped NKU land the men’s basketball NCAA Division II Elite Eight for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons.
Eaton has worked at NKU as an administrator since 1998 and served as the senior associate athletic director for administration prior to his appointment as director of athletics. During his career at NKU, Eaton has played key roles in the academic, compliance, budget, event management and facility areas. He also served as NKU’s interim assistant vice president for student affairs from 2007-08.
Prior to NKU, Eaton worked at Brown University in Providence, R.I., as special assistant to the athletic director and assistant men’s basketball coach. Eaton graduated from Bowdoin College in 1986 after participating in basketball, lacrosse, cross country and track.
He later earned master’s degrees from both Fitchburg State College and Springfield College before receiving his doctorate from Boston University.
Eaton replaced Jane Meier as NKU’s athletic director. Meier announced her resignation in 2009 after spending 21 years as NKU’s athletic director. http://www.nkunorse.com 2011 Media Guide • 3 HeadJohn Coach Basalyga John Basalyga is in his ninth season on the bench for the Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team. He boasts a collegiate coaching record of 116-39-19, has twice been named the Regional Coach of the Year and in 2010 was named the Division II National Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Last season, Basalyga led his team to a record of 20-2-3 and captured his first NCAA national championship, defeating Rollins by a score of 3-2 in the final. It marked the fifth consecutive season that the Norse have advanced to NCAA postseason play and the first national title for NKU in any men’s sport. Additionally, the Norse claimed their first Great Lakes Valley Conference championship in 15 seasons with a 3-0 defeat over Indianapolis. Basalyga earned national coach of the year honors during the campaign.
In 2009, the Norse boss led the team to a 15-6-2 record and a fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament, where NKU battled second-ranked Drury to a 1-0 loss in the first round.
In 2008, Basalyga set a new standard for excellence in NKU soccer, taking the Norse to the Division II National Semifinal after claiming a third straight Midwest Region championship. The Norse finished with a 16-3-4 overall record and two of the team’s three seniors graduated as All-Americans, while sophomore Steven Beattie was named the Division II National Player of the Year.
In 2007, Basalyga made Great Lakes Valley Conference history, coaching the Norse to an unprecedented 13-0 conference record, as well as the school’s second consecutive Great Lakes Region title. The Norse rattled off 20-straight wins en route to a 22-2 final record, both school records. The dominating performance earned Basalyga his second consecutive GLVC and Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year awards. The 2007 squad boasted eight players who would go on to graduate as All-Americans.
In 2006, Basalyga led the Norse to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament, and won the Great Lakes Region championship as the No. 2 seed. The squad matched a school record with 16 wins, and posted a NKU-best .795 winning percentage on the year.
In 2005, Basalyga’s NKU squad pulled off a first-round upset of third-seeded Wisconsin-Parkside in the opening round of the GLVC Tournament. It marked the first time since 1997 that NKU had won a game in the GLVC Tournament. The Norse, who entered the tournament as the No. 6 seed, finished with an 11-8-2 record.
Basalyga led NKU to one of the nation’s top turnarounds in 2004, as the Norse posted a 12-6-2 overall record while posting a 6-3-1 in the GLVC. Basalyga’s team also featured 2004 GLVC Player of the Year Nate Madden.
During his first season at the helm, Basalyga guided a youthful NKU squad to a 4-9-3 overall record, including a 2-5-3 mark in the GLVC. In his coaching debut at NKU in 2003, Basalyga led his team to a 4-2 win over NCAA Division II power University of Findlay.
Prior to accepting the NKU job, Basalyga compiled a 325-93-58 record as boys’ soccer coach at Turpin High School in Cincinnati over the course of 24 years. He led Turpin to Ohio state championships in 1986, 2000 and 2001, and his teams produced 22 consecutive winning seasons.
He also led the Spartans to 15 sectional championships and was named the Ohio High School State Coach of the Year in 2001.
Basalyga is a 1973 graduate of Bowling Green State University. He earned four letters in baseball at Bowling Green. He also played ice hockey for three years and competed in soccer for one season at Bowling Green.
Basalyga and his wife, Linda, reside in Cincinnati. They have three children. His daughter, Lindsay Basalyga, is the women’s soccer head coach at Eastern Kentucky University.

NKU men’s soccer has enjoyed its greatest successes since Busener joined the staff, compiling a record of 51-11-9 since 2008, including a trip to the NCAA national semifinals in 2008 and the team’s first ever national championship in 2010.
In 2007, Busener helped guide the TMC women to a perfect record in the President’s Athletic Conference, while the men advanced to the PAC tournament final after their best season in 10 years.
Busener was a four-year starter as a player at Thomas More, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors after his sophomore campaign and was named Most Valuable Player after his junior and senior seasons. Prior to his college career, Busener graduated from La Salle High School, where he earned first-team All-Greater Catholic League and All-Southwest Ohio honors.

But Steven Beattie, a freshman from Dublin, Ireland, who didn’t know a puck from a potato, had a lot of learning to do when he arrived in Highland Heights.
“Coach gave me a DVD of ‘Miracle,’” the 2004 movie about the U.S Olympic hockey team’s shocking upset of the Soviets en route to the gold medal at Lake Placid in 1980,” said Beattie.
“After watching the movie, I understand Coach Bass a little better,” he said. “But it’s a good thing he and Kevin McCloskey (the Belfast-born pro with the Cincinnati Kings) were straight up with me when I was being recruited. They told me about all the running we’d be doing (at NKU). If they hadn’t, I guarantee you I’d have been on the first plane back home once I saw it.
“I can hardly believe he’s never played soccer. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. And in Ireland, all of our coaches have played at a very high level.”
Basalyga manages to keep tensions from boiling over. He has funny quips and valuable lessons from other sports that usually fit - but sometimes leave players scratching their heads.

“He uses baseball analogies a lot,” said Impellizzeri, “but sometimes it’s a stretch. We’re pretty close to blowing it off when it comes to his baseball stories. He’s always bringing up the Yankees. That’s OK, though, because they haven’t won it all in awhile. We give him a rough time about that.”
Basalyga always gets his way. Early in practice he lines up his players for sprints so they’ll be tired when scrimmaging begins - which is the way they’ll feel during games.
How tough is Basalyga?
To appreciate his conditioning program, one must cue up the scene in “Miracle” where the U.S. hockey team has just skated to a disappointing tie on the road in preparation for the Olympics.
If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll remember one word - “Again” - because of the number of times Coach Herb Brooks uses it as a signal for his assistant to blow the whistle to begin the team’s gassers - short line-to-line sprints that build in length.
Again.
Again.
Again.
“Soon as I saw that scene,” said Beattie, “I went, aha! There it is. There’s Coach Basalyga. That’s NKU soccer.”
The freshmen at Lincoln Memorial will learn about it today.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – One game farther. “It’s always important to score first, especially against a team like Dowling,” added Beattie. “Experience is That has been the mission of the Northern Kentucky on their side. They’re a former national champion and University men’s soccer team since reaching the have been to this level several times.” NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history back in 2006. The Ron Lenz National Player of the Year could not be denied forever, as Beattie added a tally of his Two years ago, the dream ended at this point. A own in the 10th minute after Andrew Montgomery talented Dowling (N.Y.) squad took an overtime win created a turnover and fed a long through ball to and ended NKU’s climb just short of the summit. Beattie, who first beat defender Stefan Draskovic and then Kucera on the left post to extend the lead Not this year. to 2-0.
On the back of a two-goal performance from senior “We were 50-50 on the ball, and [Draskovic] was captain Steven Beattie, the Norse earned a 4-1 much bigger than me,” said Beattie of the eventual victory over the Golden Lions and will play for the game winner. “I just got my body in between him and team’s first ever national championship this Saturday. the ball, got shoulder in there and got a shot off. NKU will take on Rollins in the championship final at 3 p.m. (continued on next page)

“To be honest, I thought he had the ball and was going to hook it away, but somehow it found my feet and I put it away. It was an absolute delight.”
Beattie added another goal in the 39th minute off a direct free kick from 20 yards out for his 26th goal of the year, putting him just one behind the nation’s leading scorer.
It took just 50 seconds for Dowling to answer and get themselves on the board. After a strong corner kick was headed off the crossbar by an NKU defender, an all-out scramble in the penalty area put the ball at the feet of Sulemana Ali, who knocked in his third goal of the year to cut the lead to 3-1.
The Norse made their adjustments in the second half, however, and shut down any hopes of a Dowling comeback.
“We played better in the second half than we did in the first,” said Basalyga, who enjoyed his 115th coaching victory. “We were able to figure out what they were doing and make the adjustments.”
The Norse boss gave a lot of credit for the defensive shutdown to the young Norse midfield, including Michael Bartlett, Nicholas Chiarot and Jordan Kotsopolous.
“The composure that those three kids had on a stage like this was unbelievable,” said Basalyga. “They neutralized the opposing midfield for the most part and took away some of their options.
“They’re not the most technical players, but they’re like puppy dogs that just bug you all day long. They’re little gnats.”
With time running short, freshman Michael Holder put the icing on the cake with his 14th goal of the season on a takeaway deep in Dowling territory.
Michael Lavric was hardly tested in the game, seeing just five shots and making one save in the victory.
Though it may have seemed one-sided, Basalyga was quick to praise the opposition, “This is a very talented team with a great pedigree. We’re very humbled to be able to play at the level that they play. It was a great game.”
Meyer was happy to have banished the ghost of 2008’s semifinal defeat, “I still remember that game two years ago, and the way the boys came out today and fought hard and the confidence we had made it that much sweeter.”
So now the Tars of Rollins await, the one game farther, the chance at a national championship.
Saturday’s title clash will be the seventh time a Norse team has played for a national championship. The men’s basketball team played in back-to-back national title games in 1996 and 1997. The women’s soccer team was defeated by UC-San Diego in the 2000 national championship game, while the women’s basketball team captured national titles in 2000 and 2008 while falling short in the 2003 championship game.

“It was a typical Northern Kentucky game,” said Basalyga. “Give up a couple of goals and figure out a way to score a game-winner. We’ve been doing that all year long.”
Rollins continued to pour in shots in the final 25 minutes of the contest, but Lavric stood tall with four big saves late in the game.
“Everything just happened so fast, it’s just reaction,” said Lavric. “[Coach] reminded me, just keep your body behind the ball and keep it out of the back of the net. It may not be pretty, but as long as it stayed out I guess I did my job.”
“It was absolutely amazing coming here and having a 12th man,” added Beattie, who credited the NKU faithful in the stands for the lift the defense needed late. “The last 15 minutes, with our backs against the wall, that noise from the fans really pulled us through.”
Another turning point for the Norse came in the 85th minute when Nicholas Chiarot took a hard foul from Jack Clifford while going after a ball down the sideline. Clifford, who was already shown a yellow card earlier in the half, saw his second booking and was sent off, forcing the Tars to try and catch up while playing a man down.
NKU was able to control play from there, keeping the ball in the offensive half for the remainder of the contest and taking the hard-fought victory.
“We’re not the prettiest team in the world,” added Basalyga. “(Rollins) were very technical, very big, in some cases more skilled than we are. But the way we train and what we do and how we do it, it’s that ‘gut’ thing we have.
“I’d rather win ugly than lose good.”
Basalyga was the first coach to get NKU into the NCAA Tournament, qualifying for the first time in 2006. The Norse proceeded to win the next three Midwest Regional championships, advancing to the national semifinals in 2008.
However, it was the following season, in which NKU was eliminated in the first round of the postseason, that Basalyga feels motivated this team above all.
“How many people get upset after going 15-6? These kids were upset,” said Basalyga, “They practiced on their own for two weeks before the season started to get them ready for me. It’s a tribute to these kids and what they’ve done.”
Beattie, whose storied career at NKU ended in the most magnificent way, sees this as just the beginning for a young and talented team that will return with the same fire next year.
“I was the first international player brought in, and back then Coach told me that this program was on the rise,” said Beattie. “And I leave with a semifinal and a national championship. It’s a credit to everyone associated with the program. We worked hard, we’ve got our new facility, and we’re still on the rise.”
