HEAD COACH LEW MEEHL 17th Season Temple '69 Head Coach Lew Meehl is entering his 17th year on the sidelines at Drexel. The man who has been a fixture in the Philadelphia soccer community for more than 40 years is a conduit linking the city's proud soccer history with its present prominence and the excitement of future growth. Meehl has been a champion as a collegiate student- athlete, a professional and at all levels of coaching. From his playing days at Temple and with the Philadelphia Atoms to national prominence as a coach with the Philadelphia Fever, at Philadelphia University and now at Drexel, Meehl has displayed the doggedness of a proven winner.

It is this consistency that has helped Meehl put Drexel on a track to success. In 2007, a signature year for the program, Meehl earned conference coach of the year honors while guiding the Dragons to their first regular-season CAA Championship ever. While the team ground out a 6-7-5 mark last year and a 4-4-3 record in a tight conference race, Meehl returns a young, but talented squad this season, which will no doubt be bolstered by several new additions. Meehl has proven time and time again that the system that has brought him success throughout his 25-plus years on the sidelines is still a championship formula and one that generates excellent student- athletes both on the field and in life after soccer.

In 2007, arguably Meehl's most successful season at Drexel, the savvy coach molded his team into a defensive unit that was nearly impenetrable during the year. The Dragons allowed just 14 goals all season while posting an 11-5-3 record. In 10 of the team's 11 victories, Meehl's squad held its opponent off the scoreboard. Under Meehl's watchful eye, six Drexel players earned All-Conference honors at season's end. The Dragons finished with an 8-3-1 record in Colonial Athletic Association play and entered the CAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed for the first time ever. During the season, Meehl coached his team to the program's first victories against the College of William & Mary and James Madison University.

While 2007 was certainly a highlight of Meehl's prestigious coaching career, this sort of performance is one of many exceptional seasons in a coaching system that has generated 231 career victories for Meehl. He is ranked among the top 40 coaches in the NCAA in career victories and he is on an exclusive list of coaches who have amassed 100 or more wins at two different Div. I institutions.

Meehl had an instant impact at Drexel when he arrived in University City in 1993. He led the Dragons back to the North Atlantic Conference Tournament and earned Coach of the Year honors in his first season with the program. In his second season at the helm, Meehl coached the Dragons to a Philadelphia Soccer Seven Championship and was named the league's Coach of the Year. By

DREXEL DRAGONS Drexel University 3 Men’s Soccer 2009

1995, his third year at Drexel, Meehl's Dragons were rolling. The squad finished first in the North Atlantic Meehl Year-by-Year Conference with just one loss during the regular season and Meehl was once again named conference Coach of the Year. In 1998 Meehl completed a trifecta by restoring the Year Record Conf. (Record/Finish) Drexel program to regional prominence with an America 1993 9-9-1 NAC (3-3-1/T-4th) East Tournament Championship, winning a second PSS title with the Dragons and taking home his third Soccer 1994 9-8-1 NAC (2-5-0/T-6th) Seven Coach of the Year award. Meehl retained the Soccer 1995 11-5-3 NAC (6-1-2/1st) Seven's coaching honor in 1999, winning it for the eighth 1996 3-14-2 AEC (1-6-2/9th) time in his career, after taking Drexel to the America East Conference semifinals with a 9-7-2 record. 1997 8-7-3 AEC (5-4-0/4th) 1998 13-6-2 AEC (5-3-1/t-3rd) In his 16 seasons, Meehl has led the Dragons to eight top- 1999 9-7-2 AEC (5-3-1/4th) five finishes in conference play that has spanned stints in 2000 10-5-1 AEC (6-3-0/5th) three conferences. He has also produced four Philadelphia Soccer Seven championship teams, including back-to-back 2001 7-11-0 AEC (3-8-0/11th) titles in 2002 and 2003, and boasts a 128-138-30 overall 2002 10-8-3 CAA (3-3-3/T-5th) record at Drexel. 2003 7-12-1 CAA (2-7/8th) 2004 5-12-0 CAA (2-7/9th) Today, Meehl continues to recruit and develop top-notch student-athletes. He has coached 23 all-conference players, 2005 4-11-3 CAA (3-6-2/11th) eight Regional All-Americans, two Soccer Seven Rookies of 2006 6-11-0 CAA (2-9-0/11th) the Year, and one Soccer Seven Player of the Year. Drexel 2007 11-5-3 CAA (8-2-1/T-1st) alum Jeff Parke, who completed his four years with the Dragons in 2003, was drafted in the Major League Soccer 2008 6-7-5 CAA (4-4-3/T-7th) SuperDraft and now plays for the Seattle franchise.

Prior to his time at Drexel, Meehl established himself as an elite collegiate coach with a highly successful nine- year (1984-92) run at Philadelphia Textile, currently Philadelphia University, where he led the Rams to a 103-52- 23 record. This mark still stands as the program's second best coaching record. He also guided the team to success on a national stage and produced four All-Americans. He earned four PSS Coach-of-the-Year awards in his nine seasons at Textile while leading the Rams to four Soccer Seven titles and three NCAA at-large tournament bids. In 1988, he was selected the Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year after his squad advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. At Textile Meehl coached four All-Americans and three Soccer Seven MVPs. Seven of his players went on to careers in professional soccer including four Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) draft picks.

Meehl, who began his coaching career as an assistant at Princeton University, is a 1969 graduate of Temple University where he was a three-time All-America midfielder. A 1985 inductee to the Temple Athletic Hall of Fame, Meehl also enjoyed an 11-year professional soccer career highlighted by a 1973 championship season as a member of the North American Soccer League's (NASL) Philadelphia Atoms. A former player-coach for the Philadelphia Fever of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), Meehl also competed for numerous teams in the American Soccer League.

A native Philadelphian, Meehl holds a U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) "A" coaching license and served as a member of the USSF national staff for 21 years. He retired from Bensalem High School where he taught health and physical education for 30 years.

Lew and his wife, Jo-Ann, live in Bensalem, Pa. They have three children - Lewis, Gregory and Kristin - and have five grandchildren, Shane, Brooke, Hayley, Jacob, Morgan and Nicholas.

DREXEL DRAGONS Drexel University 4 Men’s Soccer 2009 COACHING STAFF Assistant Head Coach Woody Hartman 17th Season Temple '75 Woody Hartman returns for his 17th season on the Drexel sidelines this year. Hartman, who starred as one of the top goalies in Philadelphia's professional soccer history during the late 1970s, has been Head Coach Lew Meehl's top coaching confidant since 1984 when they paced the sidelines at Philadelphia Textile (currently Philadelphia University). Since then, the duo has combined for 231 career coaching victories at the Div. I level.

The veteran assistant has been a part of the Philadelphia soccer scene for more than 35 years. He attended Frankford High School and made a name for himself in goal as a four-year starting keeper for Temple University. After graduating from Temple in 1975, he moved on to a professional career with the Philadelphia Fever for three years and one season with the New Jersey Americans.

Hartman's acuity for decision making in net translated well into the coaching realm. In his first season as a coach, at Father Judge High, Hartman led the Crusaders to a Philadelphia Catholic League title in 1976. The Hartman-coached squad was the first team other than Cardinal Dougherty and Northeast Catholic to win the prestigious Philadelphia Catholic League championship. He went on to successfully coach four more years at Father Judge. Since then, Hartman's meteoric rise through the coaching ranks has included stints at Philadelphia Textile, the Philadelphia Kixx and Drexel. Hartman currently holds a U.S. Soccer Federation "A" level coaching license. He was recently inducted into the Father Judge Athletics Hall of Fame.

At Drexel, Hartman plays a vital role in all aspects of the program, including recruiting, game preparation and individual instruction. Hartman draws on his years of experience between the posts to train Drexel's goalies. Four of Drexel's top eight career saves leaders have been guided by Hartman, including America East Conference First-Teamer Mike Haberman and Philadelphia Soccer Seven All- Star Brian Herr. In 2005, Nick Macri, who worked with Hartman as a backup goalie for his first three seasons, ended the season among the top goalies in the nation in saves per game. In 2008, one of Hartman's prized pupils, Cory Robertson, led a Drexel defense that allowed the fewest goals in the CAA and ranked nationally for fewest goals allowed. Under Hartman's tutelage, Robertson posted eight shutouts on the season, ranked sixth in the nation in goals against average and 11th in save percentage while helping the Dragons earn a share of the CAA regular-season title for the first time ever.

Hartman, who is also a part time real estate agent for Re-Max, resides in Bensalem, Pa. with his wife Kerry and her children Courtney and Brittany. Hartman has two children who have followed in their father's footsteps. Joe played for his dad as a goalie for the Dragons and Kate completed her collegiate career in 2007 as a four-year goalkeeper on Drexel's women's soccer team.

DREXEL DRAGONS Drexel University 5 Men’s Soccer 2009 Assistant Coach Rick Tompkins 17th Season Penn State '75 Rick Tompkins is the third member of Drexel's coaching staff, completing a triumvirate of coaches who have all patrolled the sidelines together for the past 16 seasons. The Penn State graduate joined Meehl and Hartman at Philadelphia Textile in 1992 and has been a part of the brain trust ever since.

Tompkins' soccer coaching career had its roots at the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr, Pa. where he was head coach of the girls' team and an assistant on the boys' side as well. Tompkins held the post after returning to his native Philadelphia to attend law school following a successful three-year playing career at Penn State.

Since then, Tompkins has been involved in coaching local soccer at all levels. He is a U.S. Soccer Federation A-licensed coach and has been involved as President of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association and the Inter-County Soccer League. Tompkins serves on the U.S. Youth Soccer Risk Management Committee and has served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program.

Throughout his years of coaching Tompkins has been recognized as one of the game's best teachers. In 1993 he received the U.S. Soccer Federation's Bob McNulty Award for coaching excellence and in 2005 he was inducted into the Philadelphia Soccer Hall of Fame.

At Drexel, Tompkins primarily assists with scouting and is also involved in some aspects of game coaching and running practices. Tompkins also spearheads Drexel soccer's youth and community outreach efforts. He has played an integral part in getting several youth soccer programs out to support Drexel soccer.

Tompkins currently resides in Abington Township with his wife Marianne. He has three children, Rachel and Mark who are both Penn State alums, and Paul, who is currently working in the construction industry. Rick also has one grandchild, Aidric Li. Tompkins is a partner in the Norristown law firm Morrow, Tompkins, Trueblood and Lefevre.

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK The coaching and teaching talents of Head Coach Lew Meehl and his staff of experienced assistants will be on full display this season as the 2009 Drexel men's soccer teams will be one of the youngest in recent history. The Dragons graduated nine players from last year's team, all of them key contributors to Drexel's 2007 CAA regular-season championship. Among the departed Dragons are All-Region defender Bryan Ruff, All-CAA keeper Cory Robertson and four-year starter Brandon Fischer, who represented the core of Drexel's steady defense over the last four years. Meehl's squad returns a number of talented players at midfield and up front, but the team's defense has been its key to success in past seasons. This season, Meehl will be charged with forging a defense to anchor his squad out of a talented, but relatively raw group of players who will be looking to join the proud history of Drexel soccer.

The Dragons return seniors Anthony Bafile and Mike Crosse as their primary attackers this season.

2009 Season Outlook

Defense

Some of the biggest holes the Dragons will be attempting to plug this season are the ones left by the graduation of its experienced defenders from last year's team. Bryan Ruff, Brandon Fischer and Pat McCaffery comprised the majority of Drexel's defensive unit as starters in each of the last four seasons. This season a group of largely untested, young players will have the opportunity to establish themselves as the next set of defensive stand-outs at Drexel. Among Drexel's returners on defense are juniors Cory Rohlfsen and Justin Johnson both of whom made a handful of starts last year. Joining the effort this season is redshirt freshman Chris Burgess and rookies Ben Miller and Skylar Olson. Burgess, a lanky defender whose height could help the Dragons, sat out last season and will have freshman eligibility this year. Miller was an All- League defender on Downingtown West's 2009 state championship team where he played alongside fellow Dragon rookie Joe Sales. Senior Greg Ermold, who saw action at number of positions last season could be called upon to anchor this relatively inexperienced unit for the Dragons this year.

Goalies Fabio Assumpcao years. He is a heady goal tender who plays within himself and uses sound judgment. Reber went 1-1 with A quartet of players will be vying for the starting spot a 1.47 goals against average in three matches that between the pipes, which had previously been Robertson missed to start last season. Also competing maintained by Cory Robertson for three years. Senior for the starting spot are redshirt freshmen Tim Washam Alex Reber is the only returning keeper who has seen and Colin Weir. Both players got the chance to learn by action on the field other than Robertson in the last three watching Robertson last season and they will be looking to succeed him this year. Freshman Tres Heffron is another candidate for the job. Heffron is a 6-foot-3 keeper, who was a First Team All-League selection at West Chester Rustin.

DREXEL DRAGONS Drexel University 24 Men’s Soccer 2009 2008 Game Recaps Drexel 2, Hartwick 1 Baltimore, Md. - Fabio Assumpcao scored the game-winning goal in the 63rd minute to snap a 1-1 tie. Drexel's defense would take it from there in a 2-1 victory over Hartwick in the Dragons' season opener. Pat McCaffery notched the first goal of the game to help his team win its first match in the Black & Decker Classic hosted by Loyola.

McCaffery's unassisted goal came off a set piece just over 14 minutes into the contest. It was the senior defender's sixth career goal. McCaffery has led Drexel defenders in scoring in each of his first three seasons with the team.

Hartwick's Austin McCann put in the equalizer for the Hawks with a little over 15 minutes remaining in the first period. But the draw failed to hold up as the Dragons peppered Hartwick's keeper Jeremy Vuolo with 10 shots on goal.

Drexel senior Alex Reber picked up his first career win in goal in his first career start. He made three saves and allowed McCann's lone goal while facing for shots in the game.

Drexel 3, Fordham 2 (OT) Baltimore, Md. – Fabio Assumpção came through again for the Dragons (2-0). The junior midfielder scored his second game-winning goal in as many matches this season to give Drexel a 3-2 victory over Fordham (0-2) in overtime of its final contest in the Black & Decker Classic hosted by Loyola.

The Dragons came from behind after giving up a goal in the 17th minute of play. Momentum shifted in Drexel’s favor when senior keeper Cory Robertson, who made his first start of the season, stopped a Fordham penalty shot with his team trailing 1-0 midway through the first half.

His team responded with an equalizer minutes later. Senior Carlos Ruthner came off the bench to draw the match at 1-1 in the 40th minute with his first goal of the season. Fellow senior Cole Feffer, who was also a sub in the contest set up Ruthner’s goal as the team got an important lift off its bench.

Drexel pulled ahead in the 76th minute on a strike from Nake Baker that was set up by Assumpção. The team appeared to be in position to hold on to the 2-1 lead with a solid defensive effort and lock up the victory.

Drexel’s defense, which was peerless in preserving leads last season, uncharacteristically let up a late goal, in the 84th minute to reknot the match at two goals apiece. The Aaron Markowitz strike proved to be the final goal in regulation and the contest went into a golden-goal overtime period. Assumpção’s golden tally came just seconds before the end of the first of two 10-minute periods. The Brazilian uncorked a shot from 20 yards out that found its way into the upper right corner of the net, thus preserving an undefeated run at the Black & Decker Classic and a securing a share of the tournament title for his team.

The teams were evenly matched with 10 shots on goal apiece in the contest, but Drexel outshot the Rams 6-3 in the second period. Drexel edged Fordham 3-2 in corner kicks. All-CAA keeper Cory Robertson made four saves to earn his first victory in goal for Drexel this season. Ryan Meara let in three goals and made just one save in the loss.

Drexel 0, Saint Joseph’s 0 Philadelphia – Drexel and Saint Joseph’s played to a scoreless tie on Friday night at Vidas Field. Both teams had their chances but neither team could find the net. Drexel stayed unbeaten with the tie at 2-0-1. It was the opener for the Hawks.

The Dragons outshot the Hawks, 18-6, in regulation, but the game was much closer in the two extra periods, despite the Hawks playing in a man down situation for almost 40 minutes after Rocco Pozzessere picked up a pair of yellow cards. Drexel’s Carlos Ruthner had a good scoring chance early in the overtime period but was thwarted by Saint Joseph’s keeper Bryan Benedict. The Hawks answered that chance just minutes later, but Colin Baker’s scoring attempt was blocked by a Dragon defender. With just under six minutes to play in the first overtime, Drexel had the best scoring opportunity of the game as Anthony Bafile broke in on the right side and went for the far corner high. His shot was saved by a sprawling Benedict.

Each team fired three shots in the first overtime period and the Dragons had the only shot in the second overtime period, but Benedict came up with another save. He finished the day with 10 saves. Drexel’s Cory Robertson was tested three times and came up with three saves as he recorded his first shutout of the year.

La Salle 2, Drexel 0 Philadelphia - Drexel (2-1-1) failed to find the net for a second straight match. While the Dragons' defense managed to hold off La Salle through the first 66 minutes of the contest, the Exporers (1-1-2) would eventually break through for a 2-0 victory. The loss was Drexel's first of the season.

Drexel edged La Salle 7-6 in shots in the first half, but the Explorers seemed to dominate possession in their offensive end in the period. Cory Robertson made three stops in the first half, matching his counterpart Andrew Bernhard, to send the teams into the locker room in a scoreless tie.

The Dragons generated several good scoring opportunities early in the second half, including a pair of corner kicks, but could not register a score. La Salle put its first tally on the board in the 67th minute when the Explorers earned a free kick on the left side of the goal box about 10 yards beyond the 18-yard line. Brian Barry served a cross into the box where Dan Korenyi sliced across the defense to connect on a header past Robertson to make it 1-0.

Ryan Richter would tack on a second goal just nine minutes later when he settled a bouncing feed from Tom Kalpokas and blasted a shot through traffic to the right side of the goal.

Bernhard registered his first shutout of the season with five saves in net for La Salle.

DREXEL DRAGONS Drexel University 26 Men’s Soccer 2009 Drexel 0, UMBC 0 Philadelphia – A thrilling double-overtime contest ended in Drexel’s second scoreless tie of the season. Drexel (2-1-1) keeper Cory Robertson picked up his second shutout with a season-high nine-save performance. UMBC (3-1-1) keeper Steve King made seven stops in goal for the Retrievers.

After being outshot 7-2 in the first period, Drexel came out with vigor in the second half, outshooting UMBC 10-6 in the period. Substitutions Mike Crosse and Leland Raum helped elevate the energy level of the Dragons’ offense, creating two scoring opportunities early in the period. After a quick up, Crosse earned a corner kick that eventually results in a bicycle-kick by Nate Baker in the 60th minute. Robertson was equal to the task again when UMBC tested him midway through the second stanza. Kevin Gnatiko set up two chances, both of which required difficult saves and resulted in corner kicks. Robertson made two leaping deflections to break up both corners and hold UMBC off the board.

Drexel had a handful of scoring chances in the final eight minutes of regulation, but keeper Steve King proved equal to each test and the match entered overtime. Drexel outshot the Retrievers 5-1 in the first extra period and saw scoring opportunties by Anthony Bafile and Greg Ermold turned away by King.

Momentum swung for UMBC in the second overtime when defender Bryan Ruff picked up his second yellow card on a physical tackle on the right side of the 18-yard box and was disqualified from the match for the final 7:25 of play. The Retrievers’ Dan Bulls took a pair of free kicks for his team’s best scoring opportunities of the period, but neither found its mark.

Cory Robertson made five first-half saves including two from close-range to keep the match scorless despite a 7-2 disparity in shots for the Dragons.
