Claudia Lombard - first women’s soccer player inducted into davidson hall of fame d a

The 18th group of inductees into the Davidson Athletics Hall of Fame were honored on Jan. 20, 2006, and it v i was a special group for the Davidson women's soccer program. Claudia D. Lombard ’96, one of four individu - d s

als to be honored that day, became the first-ever women's soccer player to be inducted. o Lombard was a standout on the women’s soccer team as soon as she hit the field for the Wildcats in n

the fall of 1992. As a freshman, the native from Guilford, Conn. scored six goals and led the team with w i l

nine assists as the squad went 10-8-1. Lombard’s nine assists at the time were a single-season d

record and she would go on to match her career-high in assists two other times during her four- c a

year playing career. t s

The following year she was named the team MVP for the second straight w .

year with a career-best 14 goals and again chipped in with nine assists for s

a career-high 37 points . Her 37 points still rank third most in a single-sea - o c

son. For her outstanding efforts during her sophomore campaign, c e

Lombard became the program’s first-ever player to garner a spot on the All- r

South Region Division I Team. |

Women’s soccer became a Southern Conference sport in 1994, and Lombard d a

helped Davidson enshrine their first year in the league with a season for the ages. v i After scoring 11 goals and tallying 28 points, both team highs, Lombard was voted d s

the SoCon Player of the Year as a junior to become the first Wildcat to earn the honor. o She ranked second in the league in goals and assists, and led Davidson to its first n

SoCon Regular-Season title with a 5-1 mark in league play. Then in the SoCon Tournament, Lombard w i l guided the Wildcats to their first tournament title with 2-0 wins over Appalachian State and Georgia d

Southern. c a

Lombard’s final season saw her carry the ’Cats to yet another SoCon title as she earned tournament t s

MVP honors. In addition, she was named to the all-conference first team after scoring eight goals, and pacing Davidson with nine assists w . and 25 points. s

Eleven years after finishing her career, Lombard still remains atop many of the Wildcat career records. She ranks first in scoring with o c

39 goals, while her 33 career assists and 111 points also place her first in program history. c e

Lombard is also tied for most goals in a game with four, which she accomplished against Louisville on Oct. 17, 1993. Her three assists r

in a single-game are tied for first and her eight points she recorded against Louisville, are second most in a single-game. |

wildcats -29- honors & awards socon players of the year

r Claudia Lombard, 1994 e c c

o Claudia Lombard (1992-95) earned Davidson’s first Player of the Year award in 1994 after leading s

. the ’Cats to their first-ever Southern Conference Tournament title. She earned first-team all-confer - w ence honors twice for her performances as a junior and a senior. In 1994, Lombard ranked second in s

t the conference with 11 goals, tallying 28 points during the season. a

c Lombard’s senior season was equally dominant as she led the Wildcats to repeat as tournament d

l champions, earning tourney MVP honors in 1995 with three goals. The forward ranks first in every i career scoring category in the Davidson record books with 39 goals, 33 assists and 111 points. w Lombard also ranks among the top five in each of the Wildcats’ single-game scoring categories, n

o including first in goals with four in one game. s d i v a d

| Allison Noznesky, 1996 r e c Allison Noznesky (1994-97) earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors for c

o the Wildcats in 1996. s

. During the ’96 campaign, Noznesky and her teammates won both the SoCon regular- w season title and league tournament championship. The success of the 1996 team was due in s

t large part to Noznesky’s impressive performance in the net when she led the conference in a

c goals against average at 1.16, allowing just 22 goals in 19 contests. d

l Noznesky also helped lead the ’Cats to three consecutive conference tournament titles i during her career. She ranks in the school’s career record lists in minutes played (5900:19), w saves (399), goals against average (1.40) and shutouts (17). Noznesky also ranks first for min - n

o utes played (2100:00) and saves (173) in a single season. s d i v a d

| Kara Koehrn, 2005 r e c Kara Koehrn (2002-2005) became the third and most recent Wildcat to earn the SoCon Player of the c Year honors when she had one of the best individual seasons in school history as a senior in 2005. A o s

four-time all-league pick, Koehrn tied Davidson’s single-season goal record of 19 and matched the .

w career goal record of 39 during her senior campaign. Besides garnering the SoCon’s top honor, the

s forward was also selected to the Soccer Buzz All-Region Second Team after helping Davidson achieve t a its highest-ever regional ranking in 2005. c

d The National Soccer Coaches Association of America named Koehrn to its all-region third team, an l i honor that no other women’s soccer player at Davidson has ever received. Also outstanding in the w classroom, the biology major earned a spot on the NSCAA/adidas Scholar All-America Second Team. n

o On top of earning numerous postseason hardware, Koehrn led the Wildcats to an undefeated s league record (9-0-1) while earning an individual top-10 national ranking for goals per game with d i 0.90. v a d

-38- davidson strength & conditioning

The Wildcats’ head strength and conditioning coach, Craig Swieton, carries out the goal of Davidson’s strength and conditioning program — to increase the strength, power, speed, conditioning levels and flexibility of all student-athletes, helping reduce the risk of injury. Each team’s program, specifically designed by Swieton, aims to improve the sport energy utilization system and to increase the strength and power to the primary muscle groups used in that specific sport. In the fall of 2005, Davidson opened the Ernie Doe Weight Room, a state-of- the-art 5,000-square-foot facility dedicated to the needs of the college’s 21 varsi - ty athletic teams. The weight room includes 16 power racks and eight lifting platforms, as well as other cutting-edge lifting and conditioning equipment to train the whole body. Prior to his arrival at Davidson, Swieton served most recently as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Central Michigan, where he was a graduate assistant as well from 2003-05. During his career, he also helped coordinate the strength and conditioning program at Duquesne. Swieton started his career as an intern at Syracuse in the summer of 2003 working with the football team. The Frankfort, N.Y., native earned a bachelor’s degree in applied exercise science from Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., in 2003. He was a mem - ber of both the football and track and field teams. Swieton is a member of both the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). Additionally, he is a level one certified club coach through USA Weightlighting. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport administration.

Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room wildcats -41- academic success academic excellence Davidson students explore the liberal arts curriculum in depth and enjoy close faculty collaboration. With 1,700 students, the college is large enough for a diverse and invigorating intellectual engagement, but small enough to foster individual experience and opportunity.

Davidson offers over 850 courses and supports 21 majors and 12 academic concentrations. Students may participate in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry or dual-degree engineering programs or may design their own independent study classes or interdisciplinary majors.

Students may also apply for funds to support research and travel, and many opportunities exist for summer research positions with Davidson faculty.

Personal relationships with professors and classes limited to 20 students allow for the development of creative, collaborative relationships resulting in a unique academic experience. “The 450-acre campus has an Ivy League air, or perhaps a whiff of the ‘50s, from its location on Main Street to The Soda Shop across the road. Davidson is where the basketball coach lives next-door to the English professor and both are down the street from the athletics director.
