SEASON OUTLOOK

Jackrabbits Begin Journey 17 Letterwinners Back • 11 Starters Returning • 439 Combined Games Played For the South Dakota State University soccer program, the 2006 season ushers in a new chapter. After completing the program’s second year of Division I play, the Jacks will rely on a young but veteran lineup to ease them into the United Soccer Conference. “The players improved in every category of development this past spring and with the invaluable experience our young team gained last season, the combination of the two should provide a tougher, more seasoned group that will take the field at the end of August,” said head coach Lang Wedemeyer. Last year, the Jacks got off to a 2-2-1 start, drubbing Minnesota State, Mankato 4-1 to begin the year and downing Missouri Valley Conference member Northern Iowa 2-1 a week later. After holding the University of Minnesota scoreless Sept. 11, the Jacks dropped their next six matches, falling to the likes of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Oregon State, Oregon, Nevada, Drake and Wyoming. SDSU got back on track Oct. 9 with a 2-1 overtime victory over NAIA power College of Saint Mary (Neb.). Returning junior Kelsey Worcester put the Jacks up for good in the match, netting an unnasisted goal in the 95th minute. Following a 2-1 victory over the University of Montana Oct. 14, SDSU closed out its season on a high note defeating Murray State 2-1 in Murray, Ky. “Our 2005 campaign was certainly a roller-coaster affair with highs and lows, good games and bad.To this team’s credit, they have stayed the course and made huge improvements through the spring season,” said Wedemeyer, who has directed the program since its inception in 2000. The Jackrabbits garnered numerous postseason honors after finishing the year with a 5-12-1 record. Sophomore Kellyn Farrell was named to the all-Independent first team, while Olathe, Kan., native Chelsea Goosen earned honorable mention all-Independent honors after finishing second on the team in goals scored with four. Off the field, returning starters Heather Hill,Vanessa Paswaters and Maggie Eilers were named to the Independent all-Academic team, with Eilers later being selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District first team. Defense SDSU heads into its third season of Division I play with all four starters returning on the defensive side of the ball. With both Jenn Davis and Nicole Lograsso back in goal and Eilers, Kelly Larson and Kerstyn Farrell anchoring the front wall, the Jacks have plenty of experience returning on defense in 2006 to keep opponents out 5 of the net in their first year of competition in the United Soccer Conference. Davis and Lograsso are back at goalkeeper after a 2005 season that saw them save a combined 89 shots on the year. Davis had a stellar junior season, starting in

10 games and earning Independent Defensive Player of the Week honors Sept. 27 after setting a new University of Oregon Pape Field record by recording 14 saves. Lograsso closed out her freshman campaign with an .734 save percentage after starting in eight games.The sophomore also picked up Defensive Player of the Week honors after leading the Jacks to a 2-1 victory over Murray State to close out the season. Lograsso, used a shutout in the first half and four saves in the second half to get one of her four wins on the year. Eilers, a senior, returns for her fourth and final season as a starter on the defensive side of the ball after starting in 17 games last fall. She will team with Larson and Farrell, who recorded one goal and one assist last season, to try and improve upon the unit’s 1.79 goals against average in 2005. Add in senior Karoline Brause, who started eight games last season, and sophomore Alex Schaller and the Jacks should have a solid foundation in front of the goal. Midfield The midfield returns intact with 68 games of starting experience among returning starters Paswaters, Goosen and Kellyn Farrell.The Jackrabbits have talent to work with off the bench as well, as the Jacks return a trio of talented prospects in senior Janel Brown and juniors Heather Hill and Liz Lane. Paswaters will look to improve on her sophomore season in which she recorded 12 shots, while starting all 18 games. Goosen will attempt to follow up an impressive 2005 season that saw her collect Independent honors, while Farrell could shine after gaining valuable experience with her sister Kerstyn this summer, winning the club National Championship with the Colorado Rush. Hill, a Spearfish native, should push for more playing time this fall after starting six games in 2005, while Brown will give the Jacks a reliable force off the bench with over 50 games of playing experience heading into her senior season. Forwards With all three starters returning at the forward position for the Jackrabbits, SDSU should have several opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net. Back is junior standout Kelsey Worcester, who led the team in goals scored with five, while also recording three game-winning goals on the year. Also back are Erin Sakata and Erin Kasmarik, who both had productive first years in the program. Kasmarik, who switched from midfield to forward in the spring, could blossom this fall after starting in 16 games as a true freshman in 2005. Newcomers SDSU loaded up on young talent on the recruiting trail this past year. Rachael Tritz, a junior college transfer from Sioux CIty, Iowa, was a first-team all-America selection at Iowa Central, while South Dakota natives Jessica Heine and Diana Nuss will continue their careers at SDSU after earning all-state honors in high school. Chelsea Lira should give SDSU an added dimen- sion upfront after finishing a stellar prep career at Leavenworth high school in Leavenworth Kan. Natasha Swift, a second-team all-conference selection out of Littleton, Colo., could figure into the picture for playing time as well. Rounding out the class is Daniella Pappas, a member of Iowa’s Olympic Development Program, who will give the Jacks an athletic goalkeeper off the bench. “We are looking for big things from this recruiting class,” said Wedemeyer. Schedule Six home matches and three games against Division I postseason participants from a year ago highlight the 2006 schedule. Included in the schedule are matchups against NCAA tournament qualifiers Weber State,Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Creighton. Other key matchups include hosting Drake, Minnesota, IPFW and Texas Tech at Fishback Soccer Park. “Once again, we have a very difficult schedule which includes Big 10 opponent Minnesota, Big 12 member Texas Tech, Missouri Valley regular season champion Drake, and three teams that went to the NCAA tournament last year. In addidition to the tough schedule, it will be great to be playing in the United Soccer Conference and have a chance to play for a conference championship in November,” said Wedemeyer. SDSU will conclude its season in November at the United Soccer Conference tournament in Washington, D.C. All eight USC teams will be able to participate at the tournament. The Jacks begin their season Aug. 25 against Northern Iowa. Start time for the match against 6 the Panthers is set for 6 p.m. in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

2005-06 REVIEW

2006 Jackrabbit Soccer Media Guide JJAACCKKRRAABBBBIITT SSOOCCCCEERR

2005 SEASON REVIEW “The players improved in every category of development this past spring and with the invaluable experience our young team gained last season, the combination of the two should provide a tougher, more seasoned group that will take the field at the end of August,” said head coach Lang Wedemeyer. Last year, the Jacks got off to a 2-2-1 start, drubbing Minnesota State, Mankato 4-1 to begin the year and downing Missouri Valley Conference member Northern Iowa 2-1 a week later. After holding the University of Minnesota scoreless Sept. 11, the Jacks dropped their next six matches, falling to the likes of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Oregon State, Oregon, Nevada, Drake and Wyoming. SDSU got back on track Oct. 9 with a 2-1 overtime victory over NAIA power College of Saint Mary (Neb.). Returning junior Kelsey Worcester put the Jacks up for good in the match, netting an unnasisted goal in the 95th minute. Following a 2-1 victory over the University of Montana Oct. 14, SDSU closed out its season on a high note defeating Murray State 2-1 in Murray, Ky. “Our 2005 campaign was certainly a roller-coaster affair with highs and lows, good games and bad.To this team’s credit, they have stayed the course and made huge improvements through the spring season,” said Wedemeyer, who has directed the program since its inception in 2000. The Jackrabbits garnered numerous postseason honors after finishing the year with a 5-12-1 record.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“Being a part of SDSU athletics was an amazing experience. It was a great challenge. Soccer assisted me in understand- ing the importance of time management and how to con- structively and positively deal with adversity in life. Having been a part of SDSU’s athletic program definitely helped shape me into the person I am today, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.” • Alissa Bernth Kuhl (2001-2004)

TTHHEE JJAACCKKRRAABBBBIITT FFAAMMIILLYY

“Playing soccer, while attending college at SDSU, transformed me in all aspects of my life. I grew as a person, not only physi- cally, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It taught me how to work with others on a team, overcome adversity, be accountable for my mistakes and persevere.” • Molly Scharfenkamp (2001-2004)

“The most important thing I gained from playing soccer at South Dakota State was respect. Not only were we facing our inaugural season, but most of us had never met, let alone played together.The odds were definitely against us.We managed to pull off five victories that first year, letting others know that the Jacks were here and ready to fight. In the end the respect was felt from our school, our division and most impor- tantly from ourselves.” • Stephanie Piorier Neeser (2000)

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING “Everything I learned while playing soccer for SDSU, both on and off the field, can be applied to life. It was truly an amazing experience that will stay with me forever.”

• Michelle Rahe (2001-2004)

“Playing soccer at SDSU has had a great impact on my life. It has enabled me to juggle a full schedule as both a student and an athlete. It has also taught me self discipline, how to work as part of a team and how to be accountable for my actions both on and off the field. Having the opportunity to play soccer at this level is somthing I have always dreamed of and something that I will never forget.” • Karoline Brause (2006 Senior) TTHHEE JJAACCKKRRAABBBBIITT FFAAMMIILLYY

“In their short time in DI, North Dakota State and South Dakota State are both recruiting nicely and will move quickly to the top of this league before their schools find permanent conference affiliation.” • Soccer Buzz Magazine (5/23/2006)

“Playing soccer for SDSU has definitely developed my perspec- tive on respect, responsibility and leadership. I have learned to dedicate myself to somthing and stick with it through adversity. My teammates are my best friends and the trust and respect I have for them will eventually branch into my future as I have co-workers whom I need to trust, respect and work well with. Through SDSU I have learned problem solving skills and people skills which relate to real life situations. I have also learned to become a role model for my team and the community because of the recognition of being a Division I player.” • Maggie Eilers (2006 Senior)

Although allocations fell short of the actual cost, the school was able to open in the fall of 1884 because the president, George Lilley, was willing to advance $500 — one-third of his salary — to finish three rooms in the new Central Building.“Old Central” was soon joined by South (1885) and North (1887), forming the nucleus of campus for a decade and a half.
