HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of “dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of higher learning in the nation. Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to offer one of the top academic experiences in the world.

First Year of StudiesThe First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate col-leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete SuccessNotre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

14Programs honored by the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores in 2009, more than any other of the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision uni-versities. The APR measures multi-year academic success by team members.

9Irish teams which recorded a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s 2009 Academic Progress Rate report, more than any other Football Bowl Subdivision institution. Notre Dame also had 11 additional programs with scores of 990 or bet-ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA standards.

19Programs which achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-ation Success Rate, second most among Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

100Federal graduation rate percent achieved by nine Irish teams, according to the latest NCAA figures. Notre Dame had 11 teams ranked first in their respective sport.

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-ly 200 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-dics to provide first-class care.

The task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the strength & conditioning staff. The strength and conditioning staff knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition. From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent, national Catholic university adjacent to South Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C, took office as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame on July 1, 2005. He was elected by the Uni-versity’s Board of Trustees to a five-year term April 30, 2004.

An associate professor of philosophy and member of Notre Dame’s faculty since 1990, Father Jenkins had served as a vice president and associate provost at the University from July 2000 until becoming president.

Prior to his service in the provost’s office, Father Jenkins had been religious superior of the Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame for three years. As religious superior, he was a Fellow and Trustee of the University.

Father Jenkins specializes in the areas of ancient philosophy, medieval phi-losophy and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas, published by Cam-bridge University Press in 1997.

Father Jenkins earned degrees in phi-losophy from Oxford University in 1987 and 1989. He earned his master of divin-ity degree and licentiate in sacred theol-ogy from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., in 1988. Prior to entering the Congregation of Holy Cross, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philoso-phy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, re-spectively.

Father Jenkins was ordained a priest in Notre Dame’s Basilica of the Sacred Heart in 1983. He served as director of the Old College program for Notre Dame undergraduate candidates for the Congregation of Holy Cross from 1991 to 1993.

A native of Omaha, Neb., Father Jenkins was born Dec. 17, 1953.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and ex-ecutive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater.

His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA post-graduate Scholarship winners.

Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title.

Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution.

Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Su-per Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gym-nastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports.

He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for nu-merous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

3New athletics facilities which will open on cam-pus during the 2009-10 year. Alumni Stadium will be the new home for men’s and women’s soccer; Purcell Pavilion renovation and expansion of the Joyce Center arena will be completed; and Arlot-ta Family Stadium will open as the new home for the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team).

26.3Million dollars being spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center will feature a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

4Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The track and field teams, the hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

In addition to academic success, Notre Dame emphasizes giving back to the community as well. Notre Dame athletes have participated in countless service projects through the years, benefiting the Notre Dame and South Bend communities and beyond. Team and individual projects have allowed Irish athletes to see the positive impact they have in the lives of others and learn how to use their talents to benefit those in their communities.

5,500Hours of community service completed by Notre Dame student-athletes during the 2008-09 school year.

686Community service hours completed by the women’s swimming team, tops among Irish pro-grams in 2008-09. The team assisted with pro-grams including the Domer Run, Irish Aquatics, Relay for Life and Fit for Fun, among others.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS –Recent 2008 graduates Brittany Bock (firstteam) and Elise Weber (second team) contin-ued an unmatched tradition of successful stu-dent-athletes in the Irish women's soccerprogram as they were named to the 2008CoSIDA Academic All-American Team. Theduo helped to formulate an Academic All-America heritage that now includes 22 selec-tions (see p. 130) during the past 14 seasons.Including Bock, eight Notre Dame women'ssoccer players have combined for 12 first-teamAcademic All-America honors, with the Irishprogram producing at least one first-teamer ineight of the past nine years. At least one NotreDame women's soccer player also has beenchosen as an Academic All-American in 12 ofthe past 14 seasons (all but `99 and `02). Some highlights from that stretch include

Jen Renola being named Academic All-American of the Year for the ’96-’97 women’sfall/winter at-large team (covering eightsports). Jenny Streiffer was the only sopho-more named to the first team in ’97 and was asecond-team selection in ’98. VanessaPruzinsky (who graduated with a 4.0 GPA asa chemical engineering major) earned firstteam honors in ’00, ’01 and ’03, becoming thesecond Notre Dame student-athlete ever to befirst-team Academic All-America as a sopho-more and junior. In 2003 Pruzinsky became thefirst D-I women’s soccer player ever namedfirst-team Academic All-America three times(also Academic All-American of the Year).Monica Gonzalez (second team in 2001)joined Renola as the second Irish soccer playerto couple All-America and Academic All-America honors in the same season (’01 -joined by Bock in ’07 & ’08). Joining Pruzinskyon the 2003 squad were second-teamers ErikaBohn and Mary Boland, completing the firstthree D-I women’s soccer teammates ever tobe Academic All-Americans in the same year.Bohn was a first-team honoree in 2004, withAnnie Schefter named to the second team -and each was a first-teamer in their senior sea-son (2005), giving Bohn the rare three-yearAcademic All-America distinction while sheand Schefter became just the third set of D-I

women’s soccer teammates ever to be first teamAcademic All-Americans in the same year. ALL-AMERICANS – Notre Dame now

has fielded 45 All-America selections since1992, while its total of 42 NSCAA All-Americans during the past 15 seasons (1994-2008) trails only North Carolina's 48 amongDivision I teams. All told, the Irish have had atleast one NSCAA All-America selection everyseason since 1992 (see pp. 123-129), including13 seasons with multiple NSCAA All-Americans (two-plus every year since 2003),and eight seasons with at least three NSCAAAll-Americans. In addition, Notre Dame hasproduced at least six different NSCAA All-Americans each at the positions of forward,midfielder and defender during the program'sstoried history. Thirteen Notre Dame players -including 2008 graduates Kerri Hanks,Brittany Bock and Carrie Dew - have beenfirst team All-Americans, led by four four-yearAll-Americans: midfielder Holly Manthei(’94-’97), defender Jen Grubb (’96-’99), mid-fielder Anne Makinen (’97-’00) and forwardHanks (’05-’08). 2008 also marked the fifthtime in school history (and the second consec-utive season) that the Irish have had at least twofirst-team All-Americans.BIG CROWDS COAST-TO-COAST –

Notre Dame has a tradition of drawing record-setting crowds, including the largest in NCAAwomen’s soccer history for the 1999 CollegeCup final (14,110), in San Jose, Calif. The Irishplayed in front of 14,006 two days earlier atSpartan Stadium, in the ’99 semifinals. ANebraska-record crowd of 3,702 watched theIrish and Huskers play to a four-overtime tie inthe 1999 NCAA quarterfinals while a regular-season-record 4,051 fans were in attendancewhen Notre Dame traveled to top-ranked SantaClara earlier in 1999. A Maloney Field-recordcrowd of 2,629 saw Notre Dame play at top-ranked Stanford in the 2002 NCAA third roundwhile the presence of the Irish for the 2005NCAA quarterfinal at Portland produced a sell-out (4,892). In the 2008 College Cup semifinalmatch, 8,926 fans packed the WakeMed SoccerPark in Cary, N.C. to see the Irish downStanford, 1-0.

COACHING EXCELLENCE – Notre Dame’s Randy Waldrum – thefirst three-time BIG EAST women’s soccer coach of the year (1999, 2000, and2003, plus ’04 and ’08) – was a finalist for national coach-of-the-year honorsin 2003, ’04, ’06 and ’08 after masterfully guiding the Irish to four of the mostdominant seasons in the program’s history. Waldrum’s eight career regionalcoach-of-the-year honors include four in the past six seasons, more than anyother coach in the country (in either men’s or women’s Division I soccer). Waldrum has taken four different Notre Dame teams to the NCAA title

game (’99, ’04, ’06 and ’08; also 2000 and 2007 semifinalists). Waldrum ownsthe fourth-best career win percentage in Division I women’s soccer history(.784/317-80-20; third among active coaches) and he ranks fifth amomg activecoaches in career wins. His Notre Dame teams have combined to go 62-22-3 versus NSCAA top-25 opponents while producing 22 All-Americans and 16Academic All-Americans.

Waldrum was presented withthe game ball following his300th career win as acollege women’s soccercoach (3-1 at Penn State;Sept. 21, 2008).

Hankscurrently stands in eighth place on the DivisionI career points list with 241 points (84G-73A),and 13th on the NCAA career goals chart.

Inthat time, the only ties were a 0-0 draw at Connecticut (Oct. 13,2006) and a 1-1 deadlock at No.

The Notre Dame women’s soccer team’s 2004 nationaltitle season was a four-month odyssey that saw the Irish go30-1-2 overall – 25-1-1 in the college season, after a 5-0-1mark on the preseason training trip in Campinas, Brazil

(featuring a 16-3 scoring edge versus top semi-pro teams from the Sao Paulo area). The gamesattracted many curious local spectators and included the traditional exchange of gifts and thetaking of a group photo. The Irish enjoyed great camaraderie at the wonderful five-star VitoriaHotel and soaked in the atmosphere at first-division Brazilian men’s professional games heldat Ponta Preta and Guarani. Meals included Brazil’s many exotic and tasty forms of pizza andthe unique Brazilian steakhouses that featured table-top carvings of a variety of entrees. NotreDame also took a trip to Brazil prior to the 2000 season and went on to similar success whenthe 2000 NCAA schedule rolled around (23-1-1; NCAA semifinalist; ranked number one).

FLIP-THROW – Current senior forward

Michele Weissenhofer has brought a uniqueweapon to Notre Dame’s offensive attack, as her“flip” throw-in style turns a typically boringpart of the game into a fan-favorite activity. Thespunky Weissenhofer – whose flip-throws typi-cally feature keen accuracy and far-post, 40-yarddistance – was a youth gymnast/soccer playerwho began practicing the flip-throw at the age

of six, after watching a friend of her motherperforming the throw. 4.O FOCUS – Defender Vanessa

GREAT GRADES – The women’s soccerteam consistently has performed at a high levelon the field and in the classroom, a fact that hasnever been more prominent then over the pastfive seasons. In 2004-05 the Irish posted a 25-1-1 record and won the national title all whileposting a 3.38 team GPA in the 2004 fall semes-ter and a 3.35 in the spring of 2005 (second-best among all ND varsity teams). Moreon-field success (22-3-0) and top semester GPAs(3.36 in ’05 fall; 3.42 in ’06 spring) followed in2005-06. The Irish then turned in another 25-1-1 season in 2006 and returned to the title game,followed by a 3.20 team GPA in the 2006 fallterm and a 3.30 in the ’07 spring. The women’ssoccer players ended the 2007 spring term witha 3.32 cumulative team GPA (fourth-best of anyND team), and kept that pace in the ’07-08 aca-demic year with a 3.32 mark in the fall and a3.34 GPA in the spring, complementing a 19-5-2 record on the field. 2008 marked a return tothe title game and a program-best 26-gameunbeaten streak and 3.378 (third-best of anyND team) cumulative GPA for the year.HERMANN TROPHY – Notre Dame is

one of two schools to produce three-plus differ-ent recipients of the prestigious HermannTrophy, presented to the national player of theyear and now known as the Missouri AthleticClub Hermann Award. Midfielders CindyDaws (1996) and Anne Makinen (2000) werethe first Irish players to receive the Hermann(each also was awarded the former M.A.C.Award). In 2006, forward Kerri Hanks becamethe first sophomore (in men’s or women’s soc-cer) to receive the Hermann. Hanks then wonthe award for a second time after a stellar sen-

Other four-year honorees include crosscountry’s Oliver Hunter (’43) and MikeMcWilliams (’93), men’s fencers MikeSullivan (’79), Charles Higgs-Coulthard(’87), Yehuda Kovacs (’89), LeszekNowosielski (’91), Jeremy Siek (’97) andLuke LaValle (’99), and women’s fencersMolly Sullivan (’88), Myriah Brown (’99),Sarah Walsh (’99) and Magda Krol (’00).FRONTRUNNERS – During the 2008 sea-

son, the Irish trailed for a grand total of 4:05(59:06-61:05 vs. Marquette, 87:54-90:00 vs.UNC) and led for 1,615:28 of 2,450:52 min-utes (65.9% of the elapsed game time). Beforetrailing versus Marquette, the Irish opened theseason with 11 consecutive games withouttrailing.Notre Dame’s longest run without trailing

first came in the 2003 season (16 games). TheIrish ended up trailing for less than one percentof the minutes in 2003 (187) while only twoteams came back to tie the Irish that season.The 2006 NCAA runner-up team matched the2003 team’s record by playing 16 consecutivegames without a deficit. The Irish trailed earlyagainst West Virginia (Sept. 29, 2006) beforenine straight weeks without a deficit ended inthe title-game loss to UNC. The 2004 nationalchamps also rarely trailed (in just four of 27games) while the 2005 team trailed for a totalof only 153 minutes.GERTY’S GOALS – Former Notre Dame

forward Amanda Guertin’s 10-game goalscor-ing streak in 2001 ranked third-longest in D-Iwomen’s soccer history (now 7th), behind for-mer U.S. National Team member BrandiChastain (15, with Santa Clara in 1990) and for-mer Hartford player Maria Kun (11, in ’97).Guertin scored 10 of Notre Dame’s final 16goals in 2001 and had points in 15 of the final17 games. She also scored in 2002 NCAA winsover Ohio State and Purdue, yielding an ND-record seven-game postseason goal streak – andher four career overtime goals (one each season)doubled the previous Irish record. GOALS-A-PLENTY – Notre Dame has a

current goal-scoring streak of 52 games enter-ing the 2009 campaign, dating back to a score-less draw with Michigan to open the 2007season. Since ’94, the Irish have scored in 359of 374 (.960) – with goals in 263 of 273 regu-lar-season games (.963) in that 14-year stretch.The current 51-game goal streak is the sec-

ond-longest in school history, trailing only a55-game run from Aug. 29, 1997-Sept. 17,1999. That streak was ended with a 1-0 loss toSMU (All-American Anne Makinen did notplay due to commitments with Finland’snational team). Notre Dame’s previous recordwas a 36-game scoring run from Oct. 19,1995-Dec. 6, 1996 (ended in 1-0 OT loss toUNC in title game). Stretching from ’92-’04,the Irish scored in 94.9% of their games (297of 313).

ior campaign in 2008, becoming just the fourthwoman ever to earn the award twice and thefirst to do so in non-consecutive seasons. HOME SWEET HOME – The Irish enter

their first season at the newly-constructedAlumni Stadium, having played the previous 19seasons at Alumni Field. Notre Dame posted a220-16-4 (.925) record at Alumni Field (180-12-4 in last 196) – highlighted by an activestreak of 87 straight home games without a lossversus BIG EAST opposition (86-0-1). NotreDame’s all-time record at Alumni Field versusteams not ranked in the NSCAA top 25 standsat 153-4-2 (68-12-1 vs. ranked teams), with 78straight home wins over unranked teams from1990-2001, before a 2-2 game with Wisconsin.The Irish played at Moose Krause Stadium from1988-89.Notre Dame carries a 25-game unbeaten

streak into the new stadium. The program-bestmark (34-0-1) came to an end in 2007, with theIrish previously compiling a 29-game homewinning streak from 1999-2001 and a 28-gamehome win streak from ’92-’95. LAST-MINUTE HEROES – Excluding

overtime wins, the first 16 Notre Damewomen’s soccer seasons saw the Irish win in thefinal minute just twice – but it happened twicemore in the 2004 national-title season (both atthe end of regulation), as Jen Buczkowskiscored with 0:44 left at Georgetown (2-1) andJill Krivacek headed in a Katie Thorlaksoncorner kick to beat Wisconsin with 0:53 left inthat NCAA second-round matchup (1-0). It hadbeen 10 years since an Irish player won a gamein the final minute, by Michelle McCarthywith 0:25 left in overtime (119:35) of a 4-3comeback versus William & Mary (9/11/95).The only other to score a final-minute GWGwas future All-American Ragen Coyne (89:24;vs. Wright State in ’92).Scoring three goals has been virtually an auto-

matic win in Notre Dame women’s soccer his-tory, with a 278-3-1 record (.988) in those games

Memorable MomentsThe Notre Dame women’s soccer team closed

out the 1990s with the second-most wins in thecountry (196), capping a decade that saw theIrish rise from regional obscurity to NCAAchampions. Here’s a look at top moments fromthe 1990s – and beyond:

NCAA CHAMPIONS – The shootout victory over UCLA in the2004 championship game made Notre Dame the second Division Iwomen’s soccer program ever to win multiple NCAA titles, with the Irishpreviously winning the title in 1995. Notre Dame also ranks second in all-time NCAA championship game appearances (7) while the program’s 10trips to the College Cup semifinals (all from 1994-2008) trail only UNC

and Santa Clara (UNC is the only teamwith more College Cup semifinal trips since1994). Despite not making its first NCAA

Tournament appearance until 1993, NotreDame now ranks ninth in all-time NCAAtrips (15) and (along with UNC) is one oftwo teams that have appeared in everyNCAA Tournament since 1993. The Irish also own the second-best NCAATournament winning pct. in Division I women’s soccer history (.773; 49-14-1). See pages 116-117 for recaps of the NCAA title seasons.

(180-1-0 since Oct. 6, 1995). Notre Dame also is381-9-15 (.959) when holding the opponent to 0-1 goals.Most impressively, Notre Dame is 302-0-1 all-

time when claiming a 2-0 lead and is unbeaten inits past 279 contests when going ahead 2-0 (dat-ing back to a 3-3 tie with Vanderbilt on Sept. 15,1991, in Cincinnati).

(Irish won 3-2 in OT).The program’s 21-year history includes just

368 goals allowed in 498 games (0.74 GA pergame), with the Irish holding the opponent to 0-1 goals in 82 percent of those all-time games(408) while allowing three-plus goals only 37times (7%; 4-32-1). Notre Dame has surrenderedfour-plus goals just 14 times in the program’s his-tory (only five times since 1995).MILESTONES – The most recent milestone

in Notre Dame women’s soccer history came onSept. 15, 2006, when Lizzie Reed scored the1,500th goal:

Notre Dame wasthe only team in the NSCAA top spot everyseason from 2004-06. The Irish own a 94-7-3all-time record (62-2-3 in regular season) as thetop-ranked team.NUMBER-ONE SIGN RETURNS – A

new look was brought to the night sky on thenortheast corner of the Notre Dame campus tohonor the women’s soccer team on Oct. 12,2000 – and again early in the 2004 season, plusduring most of 2006 and 2008 seasons – as thetraditional, lighted numeral one was placed atopGrace Hall, in honor of it’s ascension to thenumber-one ranking. Prior to 2000, the eight-foot sign had not appeared since the Irish wonthe 1995 NCAA women’s soccer NCAA cham-pionship. The sign, built by Fr. Bob Malone anda group of seminarians, originally went up atMoreau Seminary (at the north end of St.Joseph’s Lake) in 1974, following Notre Dame’s1973 national championship football season. Itlater moved to Howard Hall before shifting tothe roof of Grace Hall. The sign was displayedat the end of the 1988 national-title football sea-son and returned in parts of the 1989, ’90 and’93 football campaigns and again from 2002-06and 2008 for both Irish fencing teams. TheHockey team also had the sign lighted in itshonor for several weeks during the 2008-09 sea-son, giving the Irish four top-ranked teams forthe first time since 2000-01 (when women’sbasketball, men’s fencing and baseball joinedwomen’s soccer as No. 1’s). OSCARS SWEEP – For the 2006-07 aca-

demic year, the women’s soccer team becamethe first varsity program to produce recipients ofNotre Dame’s Byron Kanaley, Francis PatrickO’Connor and Chris Zorich awards in the sameyear (the feat was equaled in 2008-09 by themen’s hockey team). Kim Lorenzen was oneof five seniors to receive the Kanaley (given toexemplary student-athlete leaders) whileAmanda Cinalli was the female recipient ofthe O’Connor (recognizing team spirit/inspira-tion) and Claire Gallerano received theZorich (for community service). The women’ssoccer team also received the Trophy Award(presented to a varsity team for its communityservice excellence). Three years earlier, women’ssoccer had became the first varsity program toproduce recipients of all three honors (at anytime), with the totals now including six Kanaleyrecipients, two O’Connor honorees and three

The win over Toledo came inNCAA play, pushing Notre Dame’s record to10-1-0 in series openers that come in NCAAplay.SHUTOUT CITY – Notre Dame’s 10-

game shutout streak in 2003 (956 minutes)ranks fifth in NCAA history and blew away theIrish record (726, in ’95). Then Notre Dame seta team record with a nation-leading 19 shutoutsin 2006 (7th-most in NCAA history). In 2008,the Irish opened the season with four consecu-tive shutouts for the first time since 1995 ontheir way to notching 18 shutouts.SISTER ACT – Forward Kelly Tulisiak

(’02) and defender Kate Tulisiak (’05) werethe first set of sisters to play women’s soccer atNotre Dame and the 19th set of sisters tomonogram in the same Notre Dame sport.There now have been 32 letter-winning (same-sport) sister combinations at Notre Dame from11 sports, also: tennis (7), swimming and diving(5), fencing (5), golf (3), lacrosse (3), basketball(2), volleyball (2), softball (2), field hockey andcross country.

STRONG STARTERS – In 2008 NotreDame got off to the best start in program his-tory (26-0-0) on the way to completing the firstunbeaten and untied regular season in schoolhistory (18-0-0). That debut also eclipses the 16-0-0 start by the 2000 Irish squad during the sec-ond season for head coach Randy Waldrum atNotre Dame.Here's a look at the other strong starts the

The program’s best two-year record is 47-3-1 (.932, in 1996 and ’97) – but the 2004-06Irish squads combined for the top three-yeartear in the program’s history (.924; 72-5-2).Notre Dame’s previous high-water mark for

WINNING TRADITIONS – Several recent Notre Dame players have led their clubs and state OlympicDevelopment teams to elite status before (and after) becoming part of another winning tradition with the Irishwomen’s soccer program. Five members of the 2006 senior class helped their teams post top national finishesin 2003. Jen Buczkowski, Jill Krivacek and Kim Lorenzen - plus 2009 graduate Brittany Bock (whoearned the tournament’s Golden Boot Award) -were members of the Illinois ODP squad that won the 2003ODP national title (besting future ND classmate Lizzie Reed and her N.J. squad in the title game), whileClaire Gallerano (and 2009 graduate Kerri Hanks) helped the Dallas Texans win the 2003 U.S. YouthSoccer (USYS) u-18 national title. Christie Shaner’s Bucks Challenge squad also advanced to the four-teamnationals in 2003 but narrowly missed the u-19 final. The 2007 seniors lived up to the standard of their pred-ecessors. Ashley Jones completed the rare double of winning 2004 national titles with both her Cal-South ODPteam (she and 2009 graduate Carrie Dew were captains of that team) and with her So-Cal United club, whilegoalkeeper Lauren Karas earned the Golden Glove Award with North Texas at the 2004 ODP nationals (herteam lost to Jones, Dew and Cal-South, 1-0). Another class of ’07 grad, Susan Pinnick, led the CarmelCommotion to a ’03 national runner-up finish (u-17s). Among 2009 graduates, Dew played for the 2003 u-16 national champs (San Diego Surf) and Bock twice

was a national runner-up - with Illinois ODP in 2005 and with the Windy City Pride in ’04 (u-18). The sum-mer of 2005 saw Hanks collect her second career Golden Boot Award while helping the Texans nearly winthe u-19 title (lost in PKs), with Pinnick and the Commotion also making a return to nationals. RebeccaMendoza and her Dallas Sting squad also were in Orlando, as one of the four 2005 finalists in the u-18 divi-sion. Four Irish players - Shaner, her fellow 2007 graduate Nikki Westfall, Bock and 2009 graduate Kerry

Inglis - were key members of the F.C. Indiana team that won the 2005 Women’s Professional Soccer League(WPSL) and Open Cup titles while 2006 graduate Katie Thorlakson helped the Vancouver Whitecaps winthe 2004 W-League title. Current seniors Amanda Clark and Michele Weissenhofer played for the Eclipse Select team that won

u-16 and u-17 national crowns (in 2004 and ’05). The four teams at the 2006 u-18 nationals featured fourmembers of the current senior class: Clark and Weissenhofer (Eclipse), Kelsey Lysander (San Diego Surf)and Haley Ford, who captained the Dallas Texans ’88 team to the national title (their classmate RachelVanderGenutgen then won the 2007 u-19 title with the Carmel Cyclones).Three current juniors have played for youth national title teams: Lauren Fowlkes (K.C. Dynamos; 2001/u-

14), Erica Iantorno (Eclipse; 2006/u-17), and Stephanie Sohn (Eastern N.Y. ODP; 2005), while incomingfreshman Jazmin Hall played her club soccer with the 2008 National Champion Dallas Texans.

combined record over a three-year span was68-5-3 (.915), from 1994-96 and also 1995-97.UNBEATEN SEASONS – Notre Dame’s

quest for undefeated seasons in 2000, ’04, ’06and ’08 had the Irish gunning for a rare feat.Only three of the past 15 NCAA champs –UNC in ’97 (27-0-1) and ’04 (27-0-0) andPortland in ’05 (23-0-1) – have claimed the titlewithout a loss. Notre Dame has posted sixundefeated regular seasons – starting in 1994(NCAA runner-up), ’97 (semifinalist), 2000(semifinalist), ’04 (champion), ’06 (runner-up)and ’08 (runner-up) – earning the top seed inthe NCAA Championship in ’94, 2000 and ’08.VERSUS NO. 1 – Notre Dame has played

the nation’s number-one team 12 times and lostthat matchup only seven times. The Irish are 3-7-2 against NCAA top-ranked teams, witheight of those games coming versus NorthCarolina.WHITE HOUSE – Notre Dame’s 2004

NCAA title team was honored at a WhiteHouse ceremony on May 13, 2005. Senior cap-tain Mary Boland presented President Bushwith a replica ND jersey as part of the festivi-ties. The Irish also received a special tour of theCapitol, as guests of Congressional memberswith Notre Dame ties.

When it comes to winning achampionship in any sport, at any level,the margin for error is so slim thateven the smallest slip-up can beenough to derail title hopes.In 2008, the Notre Dame women’s

soccer team saw both sides of thataxiom. During the regular season, theFighting Irish picked up a pair ofovertime victories, as well as a one-goal win on the road at NorthCarolina. They also claimed the BIGEAST Championship in extra time, asMichele Weissenhofer’s shot tickedoff the tips off the Connecticutgoalkeeper’s gloves, allowed MelissaHenderson to slam home the reboundand give Notre Dame its 10thconference title.In the NCAA Championship, the

margins remained narrow, with theFighting Irish winning three of theirfirst five tournament games by 1-0scores, including an overtime victory inthe third round against Minnesota anda College Cup semifinal triumph overStanford.However, when it came to the

national championship game againstUNC, that window for error wastrimmed to scant inches. It was thatdistance by which the Tar Heels tiedthe game at 1-1 on a second-half freekick, a shot that just found its waythrough a hole in the Notre Dame defensive walland inside the left post (the only free kick scoreby a Fighting Irish opponent all season). It alsowas the length of a bootlace that was enough todeflect a Carolina cross and sending it spinningcrazily on net and just under the crossbar withtwo minutes remaining in the game.Just like that, Notre Dame’s hopes for both a

national championship and the first perfect 27-0-0 season in school history were dashed. It’s amemory these Fighting Irish will never forget, avision imprinted deep in their psyche as areminder that the job is never finished until thefinal whistle sounds in the final game.It’s what fuels Notre Dame to be one of the

country’s elite women’s soccer powers year afteryear, and it’s that drive that guarantees theNCAA championship trophy will soon find itsway back to South Bend as the Fighting Irishseek their third national title.“2008 was as close to a storybook season as

you could have,” 11th-year head coach RandyWaldrum said. “I’m still kind of amazed to lookat the type of schedule we played and to gothrough that unbeaten and untied in this day inage is pretty tough to do. It’s hard, because you’re

extremely proud of what the kids did over theyear, and then at the end, to lose it in thechampionship game is still a tough one to take. Ithink all of us, the coaches and players, wouldagree that we let one get away. I still believe wewere the best team in the country over thecourse of the season.“At the same time, you go back and you see a

lot of growth with some of those kids during theyear,” he added. “It’s encouraging going into thenext few years to see the kind of developmentthat those young players showed in their first orsecond seasons in our program. There’s a lot ofpositives we took from last year that should keepour players motivated and confident going intothis season.”This year’s squad could be just as deep as the

2008 team, with 19 monogram winners andseven starters back in uniform. In fact, 15 ofthose 19 returning veterans have startingexperience, while 15 of those players scored atleast one point last season, part of a record-setting group of 21 different point scorers in2008. What’s more, many of the key contributorsare back from last year’s rock-solid Notre Damedefense that registered a 0.44 goals-against

average (GAA) that was fourth-best in schoolhistory and logged 18 shutouts, tying for second-most in the Fighting Irish record books.Notre Dame also welcomes another of its

traditionally strong incoming classes, with sixfreshmen entering the mix, all of whomexperienced significant success at the highschool, club and/or national team level.Additionally, the Fighting Irish will benefit froma challenging schedule that includes 11 homematches at the brand-new $5.7 million AlumniStadium, which, when completed, will rank asarguably the nation’s finest on-campus soccer-specific stadium.Put all of these elements together and you

have the makings of yet another championshipcontender at Notre Dame, with the FightingIrish out to build upon four trips to the CollegeCup in the past five seasons and three title-gameberths in that span.“I think that while the 2005 and 2008 teams

were probably the deepest we’ve had here, we’restill going to be relatively deep this year,”Waldrum said. “Looking on paper at who wethink is going to contribute and earn significantplaying time, we’re still going to be around 20players deep, including our goalkeepers. Ofcourse, depth doesn’t always ensure a nationalchampionship, but it will definitely be a positiveas we look ahead to the season.“The difference with this year’s team may be

the perception outside our program that wewon’t have any stars because of the loss of someof the big names like Kerri Hanks, BrittanyBock and Carrie Dew,” he continued. “Withinour team, and those that know about our team,they know we have a lot of stars. A few in thesoccer community may not realize that right nowbecause we don’t have many of the householdnames we’ve had in past years, but by the end ofthe season, these current players will have thatsame kind of name recognition. I’m excitedabout this team and our expectations for themare every bit as high as they were last year.”

FORWARDSThe Notre Dame front line will take on a

different look in 2009, as the Fighting Irish moveinto the post-Hanks era. Without question, it willbe a challenging transition, as Hanks will godown among the very best ever to play thecollege game with two Hermann trophies, fourAll-America citations and more than 65 entriesin the school, conference and NCAA recordbooks to her credit. Yet, if anyone thinks NotreDame will be starving for offensive productivitythis year, they will be sadly mistaken.

New-Look Fighting Irish Aiming toFollow Familiar Road Map for Success in 2009

Plenty of weapons in Notre Dame’s arsenal as program renews its quest for a third national championship

Melissa Henderson

332 0 0 9 W OM E N ’ S S O C C E R

Henderson enters her sophomore seasonfollowing one of the top rookie campaigns inschool history. The reigning BIG EAST Rookieof the Year and a first-team Freshman All-America pick by Soccer America, the Garland,Texas, native rode shotgun with Hanks atop theBIG EAST statistical charts, ranking second inthe conference in most offensive categories,including goals (17), goals per game (0.63),points (36) and points per game (1.33). She alsostamped her place in Notre Dame lore with the“golden goal” in the BIG EAST Championshipgame against Connecticut, a score that led her tobecome just the second freshman in conferencehistory to be voted the most outstanding playerof the BIG EAST tournament.A skillful playmaker with speed to burn,

Henderson will be counted upon to take on agreater offensive load this season, both in termsof point production and minutes played. Becauseof the extraordinary depth on last year’s club, shestarted 20 times but averaged 53.6 minutes pergame, and had she played a full 90 minutes on anightly basis, Henderson would not only havethreatened the school record for goals by afreshman (Hanks’ 28 in 2005), but alsochallenged for the ’08 NCAA freshmangoalscoring title (she still ranked 40th in thenation in goals per game).“Melissa had such a very good freshman year,

even with some nagging injuries that she had toplay through,” Waldrum noted. “I’m glad wewere able to determine what those injuries wereand got them taken care of during the offseason.With that behind her, I’m really looking foranother good year with her, but being someonewho can carry the load a bit more now that she’snot deferring as much to the veterans like Hanksand Bock. To me, she’s an All-American. The

sky’s the limit on what she can achieve herebecause she’s such a dangerous person out there.”Senior Courtney Rosen makes the move up

to the Fighting Irish attack line after spendingthe past three seasons in the midfield. TheBrecksville, Ohio, product enjoyed a breakoutseason in 2008, scoring three goals and addingfive assists while starting all but one game on theway to second-team all-BIG EAST and first-teamall-Great Lakes Region honors. She also assistedon Hanks’ goal 16 seconds into the nationalchampionship game against North Carolina,setting a record for the quickest goal to start anNCAA College Cup final.Thanks to a highly-productive off-season

regimen the past two summers, Rosen hasevolved into one of the premier attacking playersin the BIG EAST, if not the country. She expertlyblends a powerful shot and superb ball controlwith her back to goal, with an intrinsicknowledge of the game from all angles. It’s thisinsight that has given the Notre Dame coachingstaff every confidence that Rosen will make aseamless transition up front this fall.“Courtney might be our most underrated or

underappreciated player, both for what she doeson the field and what she brings in the lockerroom as a leader,” Waldrum observed. “Shedoesn’t always make the All-America teams, andyet I’ve always thought she was every bit as goodand every bit as important to our team as Hanks,Bock and the others. I’m really hoping this is theyear that people start to recognize her for whatshe’s given us over her four years. She’s going tobe a key for us this year, and the game willrevolve a lot around her, whether she’s up frontor if we put her back in the midfield.”Rounding out the Fighting Irish forward trio

will be sophomore Courtney Barg, whoblossomed during the latter half ofthe 2008 season, finishing with threegoals and three assists in 27 games(17 starts). The Plano, Texas, residentalso played a pivotal role in NotreDame’s NCAA Championship run,starting all six games and potting theonly goal in the 15th minute of theCollege Cup semifinal victory overStanford (converting an assist fromHenderson, her classmate and fellowTexan).Barg’s development continued into

the spring 2009 season, as shecemented her place in the FightingIrish starting lineup, scoring in a winover Michigan State and providingsteady play right from the openingwhistle. Thus, it was no surprise thateven with Barg’s youth, Waldrum issupremely confident she will be amajor contributor to the NotreDame offensive attack this season.“Courtney is so composed with

the ball, especially in the attackingthird when everything is chaoticaround her,” Waldrum said. “In a lotof ways, she plays up front the way(Carrie) Dew played in the back forus the past four years. She also seesthose seams in the defense and hasthe ability to play her teammates into

space better than just about anyone we have.She’s really embraced the full-time move upfront and we’re expecting some exciting thingsfrom her this year.”Not to be overlooked, Weissenhofer comes

into her final year with the Fighting Irish as avital offensive cog. The native of Naperville, Ill.,ranks third among returning players in scoring,having chalked up four goals and seven assistslast season, capped off by a goal and three assistsin the postseason, along with a spot on the BIGEAST Championship all-tournament team. Thesenior frontliner also is on the verge of becomingthe 13th player in program history with at least30 goals and 30 assists in her career (currently30G-27A).Weissenhofer brings veteran savvy to the

Notre Dame lineup and a big-game mentality(she ranks 10th in school history with 31 careerpostseason points on 12 goals and seven assists),as well as a physical presence inside the penaltyarea. Add in her always-dangerous flip throw-in,which has been responsible for no fewer thanseven direct assists and numerous other plays thatled directly to scores (including two own-goals inthe BIG EAST quarterfinals against Cincinnati)and it’s easy to see what makes Weissenhofersuch a valuable part of this year’s squad.“Michele could be a real x-factor for us,”

Waldrum commented. “If she comes into the fallmentally and physically prepared, she has theability to be a threat with the way she can pull

Leah Fisher could pack a powerful punchfor Notre Dame this season. Hailing fromPalm Harbor, Fla., Fisher was a two-timeall-state selection at East Lake HighSchool, while enjoying additional success atthe club level with Clearwater SC and withthe Region III ODP squad in 2008. Duringher final two years with Clearwater SC, thelightning-fast Fisher (who originally playedon the back line) rang up 33 goals and 14assists, even in spite of missing one-third ofthe ’07 season with an injury.“One of the things we liked about Leah

when we recruited her was herathleticism,” Waldrum stated. “She’ll beone of the fastest players we have on theteam. She won’t be one of those playerswith the flair on the ball, but what she’s gotis a good finishing ability and she’stechnically strong enough to get by people.The thing that excites me is that she’s thekind of player who will benefit fromhaving teammates around her that can gether the ball in a position to makesomething happen.”

MIDFIELDERSWhile Notre Dame may undergo some

transition with its front line, the FightingIrish are certain to be as deep as ever in themidfield. Even with the graduation of Bock, theversatile two-time All-American and 2007 BIGEAST Offensive Player of the Year, no less thanfive potential starters are set to compete forplaying time in the team’s central unit, with ahandful of additional younger players poised tomake their mark with one of the critical groupsin Notre Dame’s highly-successful 4-3-3formation.Junior Rose Augustin is coming off a strong

second season that saw her tie for third on theteam with six goals and wind up sixth with 14points. The Silver Lake, Ohio, product also wasamong the team leaders with 58 shots and three

game-winning goals, including the decisivescores in the first two NCAAChampionship victories for the FightingIrish last season (5-2 vs. Toledo and 1-0 vs.Michigan State).Blessed with a keen playmaking sense

and a powerful right foot that makes her adanger on set pieces, Augustin started 20times last season, her first as a full-timemidfielder after making the transition fromthe front line. She’s expected to providestability and veteran leadership in themidfield this season while serving as someof the key connective tissue in the NotreDame transition game.“Rose has that calming presence that

adds so much to our offense,” Waldrumsaid. “She has the ability to make thingshappen out of the midfield, whether it bewith her vision in the run of play, or offdead-ball situations with her strong legthat creates so much havoc for the otherteam.”Augustin’s classmate, Lauren Fowlkes,

returns for her third season after anabbreviated campaign in 2008 due to herparticipation with the gold medal-winningUnited States U-20 World Cup Team that

goals seemingly out of nowhere. With Michele,it’s always a confidence thing. If she can getgoing early, it will be a boost to her confidenceand she could really add a dimension that wouldallow us to move someone else around in thelineup.”It has become customary in recent seasons for

Notre Dame to mix in young talent along thefront line and 2009 would look to be noexception. Canadian import Tereza Stastny hasbeen a mainstay in her country’s national teampool throughout her high school years and wasselected for the ’08 Canadian U-17 World CupTeam, although she was not able to make the tripto New Zealand with the Maple Leafs due toinjury.A quick and crafty forward, Stastny also brings

significant experience at the club level, winningthe ’08 Canadian national championship with theCalgary Foothills Colts and earning a pair ofmedals during a five-year run with CalgarySouthwest United (her teams won more than 77percent of their games). She may be the firstAlberta native to suit up for Notre Dame, but sheis poised to continue in the tradition of greatCanadians who have played for the FightingIrish, including 2004 national player of the yearKatie Thorlakson (British Columbia) and All-America selections Candace Chapman andMelissa Tancredi (Ontario).“Tereza is someone we’re expecting a lot out

of,” Waldrum said. “She physically reminds me ofplayers like Vanessa Pruzinsky and KimLorenzen in terms of her athleticism. And yet,she’s got all the skill sets to go with it. She couldbe one of our future stars here at Notre Dame.I’ve got real high expectations for her.”Although small in stature, 5-foot-3 freshman

ran the table en route to the title in Chile lastDecember. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., residentplayed in 18 games for Notre Dame, starting sixtimes and collecting the game winning goalagainst nationally-ranked Duke before missingthe team’s NCAA Championship run whilerepresenting her country.Fowlkes gained immeasurable experience with

Team USA as a starter on the American backline,but her versatility as either a defensive midfielderor central back is what makes her a critical pieceof the Fighting Irish puzzle this season. LikeAugustin, she possesses a strong and accurateshot, and has the ability to distribute pinpointserves from distance, as evidenced by the twoassists (and a third uncredited assist) sheregistered in the spring 2009 finale againstIllinois at Chicago’s famed Soldier Field.A dynamic and physical force both on the

ground and in the air, Fowlkes is one of NotreDame’s better on-ball defenders (as evidenced byher performance in the regular-season win atNorth Carolina last year), a quality that will nodoubt serve her and the Fighting Irish well thisseason.Although she sometimes toils in anonymity at

defensive midfielder, senior Amanda Clark isone of the more indispensible players on theNotre Dame roster. She appeared in 22 gameslast season, starting four times, and picked up agoal and assist. However, it’s the steady andconsistent presence she provides in the defensivethird that makes her so valuable. With no lessthan 43 starts (10 in the postseason) during herfirst three seasons under the Golden Dome, theNaperville, Ill., native is solid in Notre Dame’spossession game and should give Waldrum addedflexibility in his playing rotations this fall.“Lauren and A.C. bring something completely

different to the table,” Waldrum observed. “Theyboth have a physical presence, while Lauren

Lauren Fowlkes

Rose Augustin

352 0 0 9 W OM E N ’ S S O C C E R

brings calmness with the ball along witheffectiveness in the air. A.C. is a bit moredisruptive defensively than Lauren. There may bethose games that we need that destroyer in there,and that’s where A.C. is a good fit. Other times,you’ll need someone to scheme and distributethings, and that’s where Lauren comes into play.So it’s nice to have two different kinds of playersat that holding midfield spot.”In an effort to add athleticism and quickness

to the midfield, the Fighting Irish shifted a pairof juniors back from the front line. TaylorKnaack made significant in-roads in her first fullseason after missing her rookie year whilerecovering from a knee injury. Hailing fromArlington, Texas, Knaack played in all 27 gamesfor Notre Dame, mainly as a high-octane reserve(although she did start four times), and talliedfive goals and two assists. Her biggest impactcame in the postseason, when she scored seven ofher 12 points, including the clinching goals in theBIG EAST semifinal against Marquette (2-0) andthe NCAA Championship quarterfinal againstFlorida State (2-0).“Taylor really seemed to adapt well to playing

in the midfield when we moved her there in thespring,” Waldrum said. “She gives us a differentlook as that player who can get a ball, run itthrough the midfield quickly and go at peoplewith speed.”Perhaps no player on the Notre Dame roster

showed greater improvement from 2007 to 2008than Erica Iantorno. The Hinsdale, Ill., productturned into a super-sub for the Fighting Irish lastseason, finishing with five goals (third amongreturnees) and seven assists (tops among thosecoming back) despite starting only once in her26 game appearances. A heady player with good

finishing skills, Iantorno notched points in six ofher team’s first nine games last year, including atwo-assist day against Duke and a career-highthree-point night in the season opener againstMichigan.“As much as anything else, moving Erica to

the midfield is an effort to see where we can getthe most minutes out of her,” Waldrum noted.“That doesn’t mean she won’t slide back upfront at times, because she did a really good jobcoming off the bench for us in that role last year.But if the other players up front pan out like weexpect they will, we start to look at minutesthere, and the midfield would be a place that wethink we can get her some time. She’s goodenough with the ball technically that she canhelp with the flow of the game, and that’s whatwe saw out of her in the spring.”Freshman Lindsay Brown could add another

dimension to the Fighting Irish midfield in theattacking third. The Ladera Ranch, Calif.,resident collected six goals and nine assists as asenior at Mater Dei High School while leadingthe squad to a third consecutive southernCalifornia sectional quarterfinal berth. What’smore, she has benefitted from playing with oneof the country’s top club programs in SlammersFC, which won three southern California age-group titles during Brown’s tenure. She alsocompeted for three seasons with the Region IVODP Invitational team, including the ’08 squadthat placed fourth at nationals.

DEFENDERSWhile Notre Dame has enjoyed tremendous

offensive productivity through the years, the keyto its success in recent seasons has been its stoutdefense. In four of the past five years, theFighting Irish have logged at least 16 shutoutsand a goals-against average of 0.60 or lower. Lastseason, Notre Dame posted a 0.44 GAA with 18shutouts (both among the top five marks inprogram history) and limited its opponents toonly 74 shots on goal (2.7 per game) all year.As is the case with the two other lines, the

Fighting Irish will have to adjust to thedeparture of a veteran presence in the defensivethird as Dew, a ’08 first-team All-America centerback, was one of four Notre Dame playersselected in the top 21 picks of the inauguralWomen’s Professional Soccer (WPS) draft.However, Dew expertly mentored severalyounger players throughout her career, all ofwho now have the opportunity to carry on thatknowledge and add their own uniquecontributions to the program’s rock-soliddefensive tradition.Sophomore center back Jessica Schuveiller

worked alongside Dew last season and was theonly Fighting Irish rookie to start all 27 games,ranking second among field players with 2,171minutes of action. She also chalked up threepoints at the offensive end, delivering an assist inthe season opener against Michigan, thenscoring the critical first goal on a flying headeroff a Hanks corner kick in the NCAAChampionship quarterfinal win over FloridaState.A native of Plano, Texas, Schuveiller brings

numerous intangibles to the table, including acalm and focused demeanor even in the toughestpressure situations and an uncanny sense of

defensive positioning and angles. It was thesetraits that led U.S. Soccer to call her into the U-23 National Team training camp in June andmake her an important part of that program’sfuture.“It couldn’t have been a better compliment for

her than to be picked for that U-23 team thissummer because it was so well-deserved,”Waldrum said. “What I like most about her isshe’s humble, focused, driven and not caught upin any outside distractions. When she’s on thefield, she’s out there to win and nothing else.Notre Dame is first and foremost in her mind,she bleeds the colors and the program meanseverything to her. She also has some realleadership potential on this team, especially atthat center back position.”Senior Haley Ford has experience in some of

the highest-profile games for the Fighting Irishduring her first three seasons. She has made 21starts in her career, including three stints in thestarting 11 last year that culminated with a nodto open the national championship game againstNorth Carolina. The Midland, Texas, resident alsopicked up her first career goal and an assist atCincinnati last year.Although she has been forced to dodge a

handful of injuries during her time at NotreDame, when healthy, Ford is among the strongeston-ball defenders the Fighting Irish can run outon a nightly basis. She also is effective in the airand adopts an aggressive defensive posture thatbelies her lanky frame.“Haley is going to be the key to a lot of these

position moves we’ve made,” Waldrum noted.“She’s quite a good player. I thought she was ourbest defender in the ’06 national championshipgame against Carolina, but since then, she’s hada hard time staying healthy.”

spot or maybe at the holding mid, dependingon how our personnel develops.”Meanwhile, Hall is the latest in a long line

of players to join the Fighting Irish from thevaunted Dallas Texans club program. Anquick and athletic outside back, she has big-game experience with the Texans (the 2008national champions and three-time nationalsemifinalists during Hall’s tenure), as well asher USYS Region III squad (2005-07) and astint in the U.S. U-15 National Team pool in2006.“Jazmin is not that big (5-foot-3), so she’s

going to have to be more physical than hersize typically allows her to do,” Waldrumsaid. “If she can adapt to that aspect of thecollege game, she has the potential to be areally good player for us.”

GOALKEEPERSAt some point during every college soccer

season, there will come a time when a team’sgoalkeeper will have to produce some bigstops to ensure victory. Without question,senior Kelsey Lysander filled that role lastyear, most notably in the 1-0 College Cupsemifinal win over Stanford when she rangup a career-high seven saves, the most by aFighting Irish netminder in the postseasonsince 2000.That was only one in a series of

significant numbers for the San Diegoresident during the ’08 season. In her firstyear as the full-time goalkeeper forNotre Dame, Lysander set new single-season school record for victories (26)and winning percentage (.963, 26-1-0), while her 18 total shutouts tied for the mostin the program’s two-decade history. What’smore, she compiled top-five single-seasonFighting Irish marks for minutes played (2nd –2,241), save percentage (4th - .838) and goals-against average (5th – 0.44).Standing 5-foot-10, Lysander is an imposing

presence in the penalty box, while she offersgood quickness and agility for a player of hersize. She also showed solid growth as a defensiveleader for Notre Dame, commanding the areawell as the season progressed and keepingopposing threats to a minimum.“Kelsey showed some good improvement last

season,” Waldrum noted. “She’s another of thoseplayers that, if she can stay healthy, can be apositive and stabilizing force for us. She’s goingto have her hands full with the competitionbetween all three of our keepers, but I think she’sready to accept and embrace that challenge.”Junior Nikki Weiss served as Lysander’s

understudy last season, appearing in nine games(210 minutes) and allowing just one goal whilemaking four saves. She also closed out eight ofthe team’s 18 shutouts in 2008. Through her firsttwo years, the Redding, Conn., product has a1.12 career GAA in 16 games with a 1-2-1record and a portion of 12 shutouts.Like Lysander, Weiss brings impressive height

to the goalkeeping position as the team’s tallestplayer at 5-foot-11. She also has a strong leg andtremendous potential for growth, making her aparticularly viable alternative to Lysanderbetween the pipes.

The outside backs play a pivotal role in NotreDame’s transition game and junior JulieScheidler has emerged as a capable contributoron the right side for the Fighting Irish. TheIndianapolis native owns 45 starts in 53 gamesduring her first two seasons, including 24 startingassignments and 1,898 minutes last year.Scheidler also has been a constant for NotreDame in the postseason, starting all 17 FightingIrish tournament games since she arrived on thescene.In 2008, Scheidler continued her growth in

the offensive third, tallying a career-high fiveassists, with assists in back-to-back games on twoseparate occasions. With a strong service gamefrom the flank, and steady development in herabilities, Scheidler will be a valuable asset on theoutside for Notre Dame this fall.“Right from the start of practice last year, it

was pretty apparent we needed to have Julie outthere on the field,” Waldrum commented. “Shefaced the prospect of going up against sometalented freshmen for that right back spot andshe came in ready to compete which she did verywell.”Sophomore Molly Campbell may be the

most intriguing addition to the Fighting Irishretaining line this season. After spending much ofher freshman campaign as a midfielder andforward, Campbell was shifted to left backduring the spring 2009 season and showedimpressive development in a short span of time.She already has 20 games’ worth of experience atthe college level and potted her first career goalearly in a mid-September victory over SMU.The Mission Hills, Kan., product, offers a solid

mix of offensive playmaking skills and anexcellent possession game. She also displayspatience and a calm demeanor, while continuingto make rapid adjustments to life at the defensiveend of the field.“Of all the players, I would say she had the

best spring and was our most improved player,”Waldrum stated. “She probably showed evenmore of an aptitude to attack than Julie(Scheidler), who’s been playing that position forthe past couple of years. There’s still some workto do with Molly, but I’m hopeful that we don’tskip a beat with her in there.”Fowlkes, junior Stephanie Sohn, sophomore

Ellen Jantsch and freshman Jazmin Hall couldalso see time on the Notre Dame back line thisseason. Sohn is a disciplined outside back whohas played in 25 games through her first twoseasons. Jantsch appeared in 12 games last year,mainly as a holding midfielder, while scoring herfirst college goal in her debut game againstMichigan, then adding an assist in the regular-season finale against Seton Hall.“This is going to be a big year for Steph

because she’s been in our program for a coupleof years and we’d like to see her take that nextbig step,” Waldrum noted. “Ellen is anotherplayer we’re looking to find minutes for, andwe’ll see if that turns out to be at the center back

“It’s time for Nikki to step up,” Waldrum said.“She has all the potential in the world, and‘potential’ is a dangerous word. She’s beenblessed with the size and other attributes thatmost keepers would love to have, but it’s allabout what you do with it.”Depth in goal is always critical and freshman

Maddie Fox could provide that support inspades. The San Jose native pitched 11 shutoutswith a 0.53 GAA during her career at LeighHigh School, while also earning her stripes as afour-year member of the ODP Region IV squad(as a teammate of fellow Fighting Irish rookieLindsay Brown). Fox spent added time in theU.S. U-16 National Team player pool in 2006,followed by a year with the ODP NationalDevelopment Camp, giving her extensiveexperience in high-profile situations.Though a bit shorter than the other Notre

Dame netminders on this year’s roster, the 5-foot-8 Fox more than makes up that difference inthe way she takes charge of the defensive third.Displaying good agility and sound fundamentals,she is in position to contend for significantplaying time in the Fighting Irish nets thisseason.“Maddie is someone completely different in

that she doesn’t fit the mold of our last fewgoalkeepers in terms of their size,” Waldrumcommented. “But I think she’s one of thoseplayers who’s going to come in here right awayand compete to play. She’s going to make it verydifficult on the other two, but that’s goodbecause we want that kind of challenge andcompetitiveness from our keepers.”

When Notre Dame went searching for awomen’s soccer coach in 1999, the University waslooking for an experienced tactician and motivatorto lead the NCAA’s second-winningest program ofthe 1990s. Notre Dame found exactly what it waslooking for in Randy Waldrum, a veteran of coach-ing at nearly every level who built Notre Dame intothe 2004 national champions and has kept the Irishamong the nation’s elite year after year.

From his first coaching job at MacArthur HighSchool in Irving, Texas, to leading Notre Dame tothe NCAA title, Waldrum has been recognized byU.S. Soccer as one of the game’s top soccer minds.He has held a position on the U.S. national teamcoaching staff since 1992 and currently serves asPresident for the 28,000-member National SoccerCoaches Association of America (NSCAA).

Waldrum – who has directed Notre Dame to 117victories during the past five seasons (2004-08) – isable to draw on the lessons learned from 26 com-bined seasons in the college coaching ranks (394-135-27 record/.733), providing the Irish programwith the full package in its head coaching position.A respected student of the game, Waldrum has com-bined with his staff to consistently attract some ofthe nation’s top talent. In the past seven years alone,Notre Dame’s incoming classes all have been ratedamong the top 10 in the nation – highlighted byseveral elite individuals who have quickly made thetransition to the college game.

Waldrum’s first 10 Notre Dame teams (1999-2008) continued the program’s tradition of excel-lence by combining for a 211-30-8 (.863) recordwhile winning nine BIG EAST regular-season andsix BIG EAST Tournament titles, and advancing tothe NCAAs each year – including College Cupsemifinal trips in 2000 and 2007, runner-up finishesin 1999, 2006 and 2008, and the 2004 title. The Irishalso posted a 62-22-3 (.730) record against NSCAATop 25 teams in the first decade of the Waldrumera.

The 2008 season was arguably one of the best inWaldrum’s storied coaching career, as he pilotedNotre Dame to a school-record 26 victories (all to

player-of-the-year honors) and the program’s firsttwo-time Hermann Trophy recipient (and fourth inDivision I history) in Hanks (2006 and 2008). Irishplayers in the Waldrum era also have combined for16 Academic All-America awards, including raredouble honors (All-America and Academic All-America) for 2001 defender Monica Gonzalez andBock (in 2007 and 2008, only the 12th Notre Damestudent-athlete to pull off this double twice). The2003 squad also became the first in Division I

start the season) and a fourth NCAA College Cupberth in five seasons, as well as a third trip to thenational championship game in that span. The Irishalso collected their 10th BIG EAST title with a dra-matic 1--0 overtime win over Connecticut andtrailed for only 4:05 all season, with Notre Damefielding three All-Americans (Kerri Hanks, CarrieDew, Brittany Bock) and the Hermann Trophy win-ner, as well as four major BIG EAST award winners,including Waldrum’s fifth coach of the year honor.

Waldrum’s .785 career winning percentage isfourth all-time among women’s soccer coaches with10-plus seasons on the Division I level (third amongactive coaches; see chart). During his years at NotreDame, Waldrum has matched wits versus six othercoaches who are ranked among the top 10 on thatlist and the Irish own an impressive 27-9-3 (.731)record in those games featuring matchups againsttop national coaches. In those games, Waldrum hasguided the Irish to winning records versus LenTsantiris and his UConn squad (12-2-2), JerrySmith’s Santa Clara team (8-4-0), and BeckyBurleigh’s Florida program (2-0-0) – plus a winover a Texas A&M team led by G. Guerrieri, and asplit of two games versus Portland when they weredirected by the late Clive Charles. Notre Dame’s2004 NCAA title-game win over UCLA (coachedby Jillian Ellis, yet another on the Top 10 list) wasdecided in penalty kicks, with the Irish officiallyawarded the victory for that game.

The Irish have totaled a +181 win-to-loss marginin the Waldrum era (211-30-8), also winning nearly80 percent of their “big games” when facing anNSCAA Top 25 or postseason opponent (92-22-4,.797). Five of the top six goals-against averages(GAA) in Irish history have also been posted in theWaldrum era (0.39 in 2000, 0.40 in ’06, 0.44 in ’08,0.49 in ’03 and 0.51 in 2004, with the record of 0.36set in 1997).

In 2008, Waldrum again was named the NSCAAGreat Lakes Region Coach of the Year, becomingthe nation’s only coach (in men’s or women’s soc-cer) to earn a regional coach-of-the-year award infour of the past six seasons (also 2003, ’04 and ’06).The five-time BIG EAST Conference Coach of theYear (’99, ’00, ’03, ’04, ’08; no other coach has wonthat award more than twice) and eight-timeNSCAA regional coach of the year also attendednine-day training courses in Glasgow, Scotland, dur-ing the summers of 2003 and 2004. That prestigiousclinic was sponsored by the Scottish FootballAssociation and provided steps to receiving a UEFAadvanced coaching certificate.

Waldrum continued his foray into internationalcompetition in 2008, spending much of the summeras head coach of the Trinidad & Tobago Under-17Women's National Team. Having worked with theTrinidad & Tobago Football Federation from 2007-08, Waldrum helped organize a structure for theT&T women's national team program, wasting littletime in successfully molding the U-17 squad into acompetitive unit on the international scene. In fact,Waldrum’s charges acquitted themselves well duringthe 2008 CONCACAF U-17 Championships, post-ing a 1-1-1 record and coming within one victoryof a berth in the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women’sWorld Cup.

Waldrum’s Notre Dame players have combinedfor 22 All-America honors – led by 2000 nationalplayer of the year Anne Makinen, high-scoring for-ward standout Katie Thorlakson (who received 2004

women’s soccer history to produce three AcademicAll-Americans, as defender Vanessa Pruzinsky wasnamed Academic All-American of the Year, whileforward Mary Boland and goalkeeper Erika Bohnwere second-team selections. Bohn was then tappedas a first-team choice in 2004 and 2005, joiningPruzinsky and former basketball standout BobArnzen as Notre Dame’s only three-year AcademicAll-Americans.

Waldrum coached the Irish to the College Cupweekend once again in 2007, as he helped the teamovercome key injuries and a punishing early-seasonslate. The Irish went on a 17-game unbeaten streak(16-0-1) before falling in the College Cup semifi-nals, climbing all the way to No. 4 in the finalnational rankings. In addition, Hanks and Bockwere named NSCAA first team All-Americans,marking the first time since 1995 that two forwardsfrom the same team have received first team All-America honors. Bock led the BIG EAST with 10goals during conference play, while her 16 totalgoals ranked 11th in the nation. Hanks became the19th player in NCAA Division I history to reach the50 goals and 50 assists plateau, with five of those 19coming from Notre Dame (and four having playedfor Waldrum at some point in their careers).

In 2006, Waldrum and his staff coached an Irishsquad that rates among the most dominant in NotreDame history. The Irish held the nation’s top rank-ing for most of the season and did not lose until thenational title game, tying the (then) team record forwins in a season (25-1-1) while becoming just thesecond women’s soccer program ever to reach 25wins in multiple seasons. Only five teams in the 27-year history of Division I women’s soccer havetotaled more than 25 wins in a season.

Waldrum’s 2006 squad led the nation with ateam-record 19 shutouts while the 0.40 goals-against average ranked third nationally and was justshy of the Notre Dame record (0.36). The Irish alsocompiled the nation’s top scoring margin (+74; 85-11) and had 28 more goals than their opponents’combined shots on goal (57). Notre Dame alloweda per-game average of only 2.11 shots on goal – set-ting another team record – and the Irish did not facea deficit for 16 straight games prior to the NCAAtitle game.

Hanks earned the prestigious Missouri AthleticClub Hermann Trophy as 2006 national player ofthe year while joining former UNC great MiaHamm as the only Division I players ever to end aseason as the national leader in both goals (22) andassists (22).

Waldrum’s 2005 team turned in another historicseason, entering the year rankedNo. 1 and leading the nation inscoring (4.40 goals per game).More impressively, the 2005team’s goal total (110, good for10th in NCAA history) wasmore than twice the number ofshots on goal allowed by theIrish for the entire season (54,with only 15 opponent goals).The Irish rolled up a 60-3 scor-ing margin during a 13-gamewinning streak late in the 2005season. The streak – which sawthe Irish allow only two oppo-nent shots on goal – ended in anNCAA quarterfinal loss at even-tual national championPortland.

The 2005 season also fea-tured four All-Americans –Thorlakson, Hanks, CandaceChapman and Jen Buczkowski– who were among the final-15candidates for the HermannTrophy as well. Those playerseach received top BIG EASThonors in 2005 (Thorlakson onoffense, Chapman on defense,Buczkowski as best midfielder,Hanks as top rookie), markingthe first time that one team hadclaimed four major BIG EASTplayer awards. Thorlakson (18G-35A) and Hanks (28G-15A)also became the second pair ofteammates in Division I historyto eclipse 70 points in the sameseason.

The nation’s only repeat honoreeas his region’s NSCAA coach of theyear in 2003 and ’04, Waldrum’sclever use of personnel played a keyrole in the 2004 team’s sustained suc-cess and postseason push, makingefficient use of the roster in order toutilize the team’s depth to keep thetop players fresh for the postseason(19 different players started in 2004).He also used a variety of formationsand made a key decision to install theveteran Chapman at forward, follow-ing a broken leg suffered by her class-mate Boland. Chapman had notplayed forward since high school butshe responded with an all-BIG EASTseason as the team’s second-leadingscorer (12G-8A).

The 2004 squad posted (at thetime) the best winning percentage inprogram history (.944, 25-1-1), withonly three previous Division I teamswinning more games in a season.They also finished fourth in thenation with a 0.51 season goals-

against average while totaling nearly as many goals(70) as opponent shots on goal (71) and trailing only102 minutes all season. On the way to the title,Notre Dame beat three Top 25 teams twice (SantaClara, Boston College and Connecticut), whileadding noteworthy wins over Portland, Stanford,

West Virginia, Villanova, Michigan and ArizonaState. The 2003 and 2004 teams combined to winmore than 90 percent of their games (45-4-2) – atwo-year mark that was bettered by the 2005 and2006 Irish teams (47-4-1).

The Waldrum era began in 1999, with his firstfive years coinciding with the career of defensiveenforcer Pruzinsky, the classic definition of student-athlete who graduated with a 4.00 cumulative GPAas a chemical engineering major while also compet-ing for a spot on the final roster for the U.S. U-21National Team. Pruzinsky returned for a fifth year ofeligibility in 2003 and was named the CoSIDAAcademic All-American of the Year for women’ssoccer, also receiving a prestigious NCAA postgrad-uate scholarship.

Waldrum became the first coach in NCAAwomen’s soccer history (3rd total) to lead his/herteam to the championship game in his first seasonwith a team, after guiding his 1999 squad to fourstraight wins in the NCAAs. Three previous first-year coaches had reached the semifinals (doing so inthe days of 12- and 16-team NCAA fields), but per-haps none had led a team through a harder routethan Waldrum did against the 48-team draw in1999. The Irish defeated Atlantic-10 championDayton and eighth-ranked Stanford (the Pac-10champ) before toppling fourth-ranked and Big 12champion Nebraska in the quarterfinals via a nail-biting penalty kick shootout.

The rookie coach had the fifth-seeded Irish click-ing in their first three rounds of the 1999 NCAAtournament – with that momentum continuing atthe College Cup. Earlier in the 1999 regular season,

Notre Dame had suffered a 4-2 loss at top-rankedSanta Clara. In the rematch at the NCAA semifi-nals, Waldrum motivated his team with surprisegreen jerseys. The Irish responded with an inspiredperformance in a 1-0 win over the Broncos, as anNCAA-record total of 14,000 fans looked on at SanJose’s Spartan Stadium. Despite a loss in the titlegame two days later, Waldrum had taken NotreDame further than any previous first-year headcoach in Division I women’s soccer history.

A new challenge awaited in 2000, as Notre Damelooked to replace five graduated starters – three ofthem All-Americans, and a fourth the team’s all-time leading goal scorer. Under Waldrum’s steadyhand, the Irish overcame the loss of two injuredstarters for good chunks of the 2000 season andreturned to the top of the rankings, led by a stingydefense that posted a national-best 0.39 goals-against average.

Makinen, the leader of the 2000 midfield unit,went on to earn national player-of-the-year honorswhile the 2000 Irish posted a 23-1-1 overall record,with the only blemishes being a scoreless battle atBIG EAST rival Connecticut and a 2-1 loss toNorth Carolina in the NCAA semifinals. The Irishtrailed for just 35 minutes all season and capturedanother BIG EAST crown, with Waldrum repeatingas BIG EAST Coach of the Year.

The 2001 squad then claimed the program’s sev-enth straight BIG EAST title (only UConn women’sbasketball had won more consecutive BIG EASTtitles, among team-oriented sports) while postingnoteworthy wins over Penn State and Nebraska. Aseries of injuries to key players slowed the 2002squad but the Irish rallied down the stretch beforelosing on a late goal at top-ranked Stanford in theNCAA round of 16.

The 2003 squad (20-3-1) returned atop thenational scene, owning the No. 2 national rankingfor most of the season while emerging as one of the

nation’s most balanced teams on both sides of theball – led by a pair of All-Americans in forward AmyWarner and defender Melissa Tancredi.

Waldrum – who served as an assistant coach withthe U.S. Women’s U-18 and U-20 national teams inthe late 1990s – came to Notre Dame after begin-ning the Baylor women’s soccer program fromscratch in 1995, ultimately leading the Bears to a 9-0-1 Big 12 Conference record and their first Big 12championship in any sport in 1998.

In three seasons at Baylor, Waldrum guided theBears to a 46-14-3 record after he spent 1995-96starting up the program. He earned Big 12Conference and NSCAA Central Region coach-of-the-year honors after finishing with a 15-5-1 recordin ’98. The Bears posted wins over three rankedteams to earn their first NCAA bid and were rankedas high as 12th during the season. He was namedthe 1996 national coach of the year for a first-yearprogram and likewise, Baylor was chosen by SoccerBuzz as the nation’s best first-year program in 1996after posting a 17-3-1 season.

Prior to his tenure at Baylor, Waldrum spent sixseasons (1989-94) as head coach of the men’s andwomen's teams at the University of Tulsa, compilinga 66-33-6 record with the men and a 61-36-9 markwith the women (he remains the winningest all-time coach of both programs). He was votedCentral Region coach of the year in 1990 after theGolden Hurricane finished 9-6-1. His Tulsa women’steams produced four all-region players, sixAcademic All-Americans and two Olympic Festivalplayers.

Waldrum’s 1993 Tulsa men’s team finished secondin the Missouri Valley Conference and fourth in theregion with a 10-6-2 record, earning WaldrumMVC and Midwest Region coach-of- the-year hon-ors. His 1991 team won the MVC championship,finishing with a 14-3-0 record and advanced to theNCAA Tournament for the first time in programhistory. His men’s teams produced seven All-Americans, two national team members, three U.S.Olympic Festival players and three ProfessionalIndoor Soccer League draft selections. While atTulsa, Waldrum also served as the state coach for theOlympic Development Program.

Waldrum started a first-year men's program atTexas Wesleyan in 1988 and earlier had his first col-legiate head coaching position at Austin College in1982. He served as director of coaching for theTexas Longhorns Soccer Club from 1987-89, coach-ing one of the seven teams in the club while over-seeing the other teams. His team went 53-4-1 andfinished third in the country, with Waldrum coach-ing and developing two Parade All-Americans, twonational team players and one Youth World Cupplayer with the Longhorns.

Waldrum earned all-district honors all four yearsof his playing career at Midwestern State Universityin Wichita Falls, Texas, graduating in 1981 as a phys-ical education major and political science minor. Hethen played professionally for the Los AngelesSkyhawks and the Indianapolis Daredevils of theAmerican Soccer League.

Born Sept. 25, 1956, the Irving, Texas, native andhis wife Dianna have one son, 28-year-old Ben, whocompeted in professional soccer with the El PasoPatriots of the A-League and the MISL’s DallasSidekicks. Ben also served as an assistant coach onhis father’s staff at Notre Dame from 2003-07.

Q: How do you think the Notre Damewomen’s soccer program is perceived on anational level and how would you characterizethe current state of the program?

A:“I’d like to think people view us as one of thepremier programs in the country and I think thatis the perception. And that’s where we certainlywant to keep it.

“What makes the sport of soccer tick is that allcoaches and fans see the game a little bit differ-ently. I would love for our team to be viewed as aprogram that plays a very attractive, attacking style.If I had my wish, I would want it to look like amixture of the Dutch and the Brazilians, maybesome of Manchester United. Those are models thatyou’d like your team to look at.

“We’ve taken what was established and addedto it. Previous Notre Dame teams played thatattractive style and we’ve been able to continuethat, with probably a little more athleticism –which you need to consistently win the big games.That’s how the game has evolved.

“Maybe even a little bit to our downfall, we’vealways come out and tried to play. We’ve never justtried to sit back and defend and see if the bestteam can win from that. An attractive style is a cru-cial part of how this program will operate.”

Q: What will it take to maintain the NotreDame program at that elite level?

A: “Any coach will tell you it’s about the play-ers first. So we certainly have to continue torecruit the best, and our incoming class for 2009is right up there among the best in the nation. Alot of our success has been due to the fact thatwe’ve added kids who are good fits for NotreDame. That’s a big reason why we have been sosuccessful this past decade, especially in 2000,2004 and 2008. The chemistry of those teams wasso incredible, although at times we may not havebeen as talented as some earlier Notre Dameteams.”

Q: What are some of the things that you havecome to appreciate most at Notre Dame?

A:“On the outside, I always had an appreciationfor the athletic tradition of Notre Dame and knewit was a great academic institution. Since I’ve beenon campus, that certainly is very true and probably10-fold once you realize the actual tradition. It’struly what a college campus should be all about.

“A couple things that really separate us is howcommitted the alums are to Notre Dame. We don’tgo anywhere around the country that somebodydoesn’t stop and talk to us about Notre Dame, andalumni clubs hold receptions for us all over thecountry. Those are things you don’t find anywhereelse.

“The biggest thing is what Notre Dame can dofor student-athletes in their future. They get greatbenefits of playing four years on a top college teamand receiving a great education. But in the long run,there are great employment opportunities that beingan alum of Notre Dame can open for you. Those arethe things that really have amazed me.”

Q: Many of your top players have undergoneposition shifts over the years. What is your phi-losophy about position changes?

A:“It’s fairly common, because so many top kidsplayed in the more high-profile positions with theirclub teams. It’s another intangible when we areevaluating players and one has that versatility toplay other positions, because you never knowwhere they might play. We have several playerswith the skills, maturity and mentality to play mul-tiple positions and they are valuable members ofthis team.

“We have a trend of playing with severaldefenders who converted from the offense andthey have that sense of what the opposing forwardsare going to try to do. That may give them anadded edge, because they’ve been on the other sideof the ball.”

Q: Your inverted pyramid 4-3-3 system hasbeen used by the U.S. Women’s National Teambut is fairly unique in the college game. Whatattracts you to this formation?

A: “I like the system for two primary reasons.First, it gives you four in the back and it’s a lot eas-ier to cover the full width of the field. Secondly, itstill allows you to keep an attacking presence withthree up front. It is the perfect system for the play-ers we’ve had.

“For the system to work, you need midfielderslike we’ve had in recent years such as JenBuczkowski, Brittany Bock and Courtney Rosen,who are technically-sound and comfortable han-dling the ball under pressure. The system also is a‘win-win’ defensively, whether you’re trying tomatch up with four or five midfielders from theopposition. You also need great outside backs –which we’ve had recently with the likes ofCandace Chapman, Kim Lorenzen, Christie Shanerand Elise Weber – who can cover a lot of groundon the flanks.

“You recruit to fit your system if you’re happywith that system and want to stay in it; or yourecruit the best players you can and then develop asystem once that group gets there. We’re to a pointwhere we can recruit for the system. It doesn’tmean that won’t change if warranted, but we arevery pleased and content with the way the systemmeshes with our current players.”

Q:Your players have said that you have theirrespect and attention without using an overbear-ing style. How did that develop?

A: “I played for coaches who were not bigyellers and screamers. My high school coach SimonSanchez is still one of the best coaches I’ve everbeen around. People respected him and loved toplay for him, without him needing to ride us all thetime – but we still had some intense practices andgames.

“Today’s athletes are very different. Many don’trespond as well to a lot of yelling and screaming.I’ve always been fortunate to coach players whorespond in a positive way and understand what weare asking them to do. We have a very intelligentgroup and they’ve been very receptive to our waysof doing things.”

A Visit with Randy Waldrum

“I’ve known Randy Waldrum for more than 30years and he has been a winner at every level he’scoached. Randy's knowledge and experiencesmakes him one of the premier college coaches inthe country. Coach Waldrum's teams all have simi-lar characteristics: he lets them play with a lot offreedom and they play with confidence. His teamsare always entertaining to watch.”

Schellas Hyndmanhead coach, FC Dallas (MLS)

“One of the great things about Randy is how hehandles each player individually and gives playersthe chances to prove themselves. He also has acalm manner in dealing with players, but he stillwants to get the most out of you. Everyonerespects him for that and they believe and trust inhim. The program is in great hands with Randyleading the way.”

Kelly Lindsey ’01former head coach, Sky Blue FC (WPS)

former head coach at Saint Mary’s (Calif.)former two-time Notre Dame captain

member of Bay Area CyberRays (WUSA)

“Randy Waldrum has molded Notre Dame intoone of the top soccer programs in the country, andhe has done that while ensuring that his student-athletes remain champions in the classroom and inthe community. We are proud to have Randy as ourhead coach and we look forward to many moreyears of continued success under his leadership.”

Jack SwarbrickNotre Dame director of athletics

“Randy Waldrum is one of the top American soc-cer coaches in the game today. His success at everylevel, including youth, collegiate and as an assistantcoach at the youth national team level, is an indica-tion of his commitment to the game and his trade.”

Tony DiCiccoformer U.S. national team head coachformer head coach of U.S. U-20 team

current head coach, Boston Breakers (WPS)

“Randy is one of the nation’s most organized andknowledgeable coaches. He has helped set a greatstandard for Notre Dame soccer. Even though he’ssuch a respected and experienced coach, he remainsvery humble and has a great thirst for gatheringknowledge about the game. He travels around theworld to observe at various soccer events and isconstantly improving his ability as a coach.”

the second highest career winning-percentage amongIrish goalkeepers (.902) and the third-best GAA(0.65).

Greathouse made an immediate impact in her firsttwo seasons at Notre Dame, the second of which sawthe Irish win their second national championship. In2003, the Irish finished fifth in the nation with a 0.49season goals-against average in 2003 and were fourthwith 15 shutouts – also compiling a 956-minuteshutout streak that ranks fifth in NCAA history(longest since 1999). Notre Dame faced just onedeficit in the first 19 games of the 2003 season, enroute to a 20-3-1 record. The 2004 national champi-onship season then saw the Irish lead the nation with18 shutouts while nearly reclaiming the GAA title(4th, at 0.51). The 25-1-1 season featured just 108minutes with the Irish playing from behind, limiting24 of the 27 opponents to one goal or fewer, whilethe other three foes managed to score twice (twocoming in the first four games, with only 10 goalsallowed over the final 25).

Following the 2004 NCAA title-game win overUCLA, Bohn quickly credited Greathouse whenasked about her clutch performances in that pressure-packed game. Bohn’s six saves that day included threein penalty-kick situations, one coming late in regula-tion to preserve the 1-1 tie while her final save (in theshootout) clinched the title.

Most recently, Greathouse tutored current seniorKelsey Lysander and junior Nikki Weiss, during the2008 season when the Irish netminding duo com-bined for 18 shutouts (second-most in school history)with an 0.44 GAA (fourth-lowest in program annals).Individually, Lysander set or tied school records forwins (26), winning percentage (.963, 26-1-0) and totalshutouts (18) while ranking sixth in the nation inGAA (0.44) and being named to the NCAA CollegeCup All-Tournament Team.

“Dawn has done a great job with our ’keepers andwe expect that to continue on an even higher levelthis season,” says Waldrum.

“Dawn is one of the best goalkeepers I’ve evercoached and her skills and knowledge are furtherlegitimized by the fact that she played in the WUSA.

Former Baylor All-American and WUSA goal-keeper Dawn Greathouse enters her seventh seasonon the Notre Dame women’s soccer staff as an assis-tant coach, reuniting with her former college coachRandy Waldrum, who departed Baylor for NotreDame after the 1998 season. Greathouse currentlyholds an advanced national diploma from theNational Soccer Coaches Association of America(NSCAA).

Greathouse has provided valuable instruction andinsight for some of the greatest goalkeepers in pro-gram history in 2006 graduate Erika Bohn (whowent on to be one of two goalkeepers on the U.S. U-21 National Team at the 2005 Nordic Cup) and 2008graduate Lauren Karas. Bohn – a rare three-timeAcademic All-American – earned NSCAA all-regionhonors in 2003 and then was an all-BIG EASTConference selection in 2005. She ranks fourth in theNotre Dame record book with a 0.69 career goals-against average (GAA) and is third in Irish women’ssoccer history with 6,788 career minutes played.While under the tutelage of Greathouse, Karas posted

She brings a great level of experience but also knowswhat the expectations are on the pro level. Dawn isable to expose our players to what the inner workingsof elite-level soccer are all about and that supportswhat our staff as a whole is trying to teach the play-ers.”

Greathouse – who trained with the U.S. U-20National Team in 1998 – played with the WashingtonFreedom in the first two seasons of the Women’sUnited Soccer Association (2001 and 2002), also play-ing for the San Jose CyberRays in 2002 and ’03. Shemade eight career starts in the WUSA while backingup U.S. National Team players Siri Mullinix(Washington) and former Notre Dame star LaKeysiaBeene (San Jose).

Greathouse logged 7,121 minutes (sixth in NCAAhistory at the time) in her four-year Baylor careerwhile posting a 1.20 goals-against average, an .802save percentage and 28 shutouts. The three-time all-Big 12 Conference and three-time Big 12 all-aca-demic team honoree posted her top season as asophomore in 1998, earning NSCAA second teamAll-America honors after ranking 12th in the nationwith a 0.69 GAA. She helped the 1998 team winBaylor's first Big-12 title in any sport – before an ACLknee injury sidelined her from Baylor's second straighttrip to the NCAAs.

An NSCAA and Parade All-American at Allen(Texas) High School, Greathouse helped the TexasLonghorns club program place second nationally andtrained with the U.S. Under-16 and U-17 nationalteams.

During her youth soccer days, Greathouse playedgoalkeeper for her club team but also was a high-scor-ing forward with the Allen High School squad. She setthe Allen High School record for career goals and alsoheld the single-season record that was broken by for-mer Notre Dame All-American Kerri Hanks.

Born Feb. 10, 1979, in Rochester, N.Y., Greathousegraduated from Baylor in 2001 with a degree in healthfitness.

ALMOST PERFECT – Notre Dame had one of itsmost memorable runs to the NCAA College Cupchampionship match, winning a school-record 26 games ina row to earn an appearance in the final for the seventh timein program history. After jumping out to an 1-0 lead versusrival North Carolina in the final - on the strength of KerriHanks’ goal just 16 seconds into the contest (achampionship game record for fastest goal) – the Irishdropped a heartbreaker to the Tar Heels, 2-1.

Notre Dame advanced to the NCAA Women's CollegeCup final for the second time in three years and the seventhtime in program history. The Irish gained a berth in theNCAA title game with a 1-0 victory over Stanford in thesemifinal round. Freshman midfielder Courtney Bargconverted a pinpoint cross from classmate MelissaHenderson to give the Irish the lead in the 15th minute.Notre Dame made the goal stand up with a resilient defensethat kept the Cardinal at bay. Junior goalkeeper KelseyLysander also did her part with a career-high seven saves,the most for an Irish goalkeeper in NCAA play since 2000.Notre Dame outscored its opponents by a staggering 83-

12 margin (+71) while recording 18 shutouts on the year.All told, the Irish knocked off 10 ranked opponents whiletrailing for just 4:05 the entire season.

A SEASON OF RECORD-SETTING STREAKS –The Irish put together a school-record winning streak of 26games to open the season. Within that stretch, the Irishrecorded the first unbeaten and untied regular season inprogram history. The 26 wins marked the longest such streakin program history, besting the previous unbeaten streak of24 games, set from Oct. 19, 1995-Oct. 11, 1996.With its 3-0 win at home over South Florida on Oct. 3,

Notre Dame set a school record for consecutive regular-season victories, with an active winning streak at 28 gamesheading into the 2009 campaign. The last time the Irishdropped a regular-season contest was more than a year ago(Sept. 23, 2007) to 14th-ranked Penn State at Alumni Field(2-1). 2008 also marked the sixth consecutive season inwhich the Irish reeled off at least 12 victories in a row.With a victory over Toledo in the first round of the

NCAA Championship on Nov. 14, Notre Dame matchedthe best 40-game stretch in school history (38-1-1),previously set from Oct. 2, 2005-Dec. 1, 2006.

ALL-AMERICAN TRIO – Notre Dame was wellrepresented on the National Soccer Coaches Association ofAmerica (NSCAA) All-America Teams with three Irishseniors selected for top honors. Senior forward KerriHanks became the 23rd NCAA Division I athlete to garnerfour All-America citations, earning her third first-teamhonor in 2008. Meanwhile, senior defender/co-captainCarrie Dew joined Hanks on the NSCAA All-AmericaFirst Team, collecting her first certificate in her finalcollegiate season. Senior forward/midfielder Brittany Bockwas a second-team honoree this season after taking homefirst-team laurels a year ago.Notre Dame was one of four schools to have multiple

first-team All-Americans this year, along with Florida State,Stanford and UCLA. It also marks the fifth time in schoolhistory, and the second consecutive season, that the Irishhave had at least two first-team All-Americans. Notre Damenow has fielded 45 All-America selections since 1992, whileits total of 42 NSCAA All-Americans during the past 15seasons (1994-2008) trails only North Carolina's 48 amongDivision I teams, with Portland (29) a distant third on thatlist.All told, the Irish have had at least one NSCAA All-

America selection every season since 1992, including 13seasons with multiple NSCAA All-Americans (two-plusevery year since 2003), and eight seasons with at least threeNSCAA All-Americans. In addition, Notre Dame hasproduced at least six different NSCAA All-Americans eachat the positions of forward, midfielder and defender duringthe program's storied history.

CONFERENCE DOMINANCE – The Irish finishedatop the National Division standings (11-0-0) while goingunbeaten in conference play for the ninth time in 14 BIGEAST seasons. Notre Dame has now won 12 BIG EASTregular season titles (all but 1998 and 2002). Then, with awin over Connecticut in the BIG EAST championship gameon Nov. 9 (1-0 ot), Notre Dame pushed its school-recordunbeaten streak (50-0-2) against BIG EAST opposition to 52games (second-longest in NCAA Division I history) datingback to a 4-1 loss at No. 15 Marquette on Sept. 30, 2005.In that 52-game span, the only ties were a 0-0 draw at

Courtney Barg (above left) scores at 14:07 of the NCAA College Cup semifinal match versus Stanford to give the Irisha 1-0 lead. The Notre Dame defense then held off the Cardinal attack – led by goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander whomade a career-high seven saves – to earn the win.

Connecticut (Oct. 13, 2006) and a 1-1 deadlock at No. 12West Virginia in the 2007 BIG EAST title game (WVU won5-3 on PKs).Since joining the BIG EAST, the Irish are 123-8-4 (.926)

while Courtney Rosen dished out two assists for Notre Dame. Threeother players — Taylor Knaack, Melissa Henderson and Ellen Jantsch —scored their first career goals, while Jessica Schuveiller notched her firstcareer assist.Notre Dame dominated the Wolverines statistically, outshooting UM

by a 34-4 margin, including an 18-1 edge in shots on goal. The Irish alsoowned an 8-2 edge in corner kicks, with all eight coming in the secondhalf. Kelsey Lysander started a season opener for the third consecutiveyear and was not tested in the first half. Sophomore netminder NikkiWeiss came on at the break and finished off the shutout for the Irish,making one save.In all, 26 of the 29 players on the Notre Dame roster got into the

game. It didn’t take very long for the Irish to get on the board, scoring on

their first shot with 6:19 gone (the sixth-fastest season-opening goal inschool history). The Irish put the game on ice with a three-goal flurry in a span of less

than nine minutes midway through the first half. Rose Augustin startedthe spree at 29:30, as Schuveiller looped a ball over the Michiganbackline, where Augustin went solo with Wolverine goalkeeper HaleyKopmeyer and won the battle with a gorgeous chip from the top of thebox over a charging Kopmeyer. Just before the 33-minute mark, NotreDame struck again, as Rosen rifled a shot off the crossbar, with the ballricocheting directly onto Henderson’s foot and the Irish rookie volleyedin the rebound. Iantorno capped the outburst at 37:18, taking Rosen’scross-field pass on the right side, cutting to the center of the box andtagging a left-footed shot that grazed a UM defender before finding theback of the net.Michigan made a goalkeeper change at halftime, putting Madison

Gates between the pipes. However, that switch did nothing to curb theNotre Dame offensive surge, as Knaack rudely greeted Gates with a goal31 seconds into the second half on a curling shot from the top right ofthe box. Less than six minutes later, Hanks and Iantorno hooked up fora score, as Iantorno drove to the left endline before serving a ball backfor a crashing Hanks. The Irish completed the scoring in the 86th minute,as Jantsch nodded home a cross from the right endline by junior defenderRachel VanderGenugten.

GAME #4 — Sept. 5, 2008Carolina Classic

#5/4 Notre Dame 1, #3/2 North Carolina 0Fetzer Field (Chapel Hill, N.C.)

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Brittany Bock scored less than six minutes intothe second half and No. 5/4 Notre Dame withstood a late challenge fora 1-0 win over No. 3/2 North Carolina in the opening round of theCarolina Classic. While UNC outshot Notre Dame, 10-9, the Irish held a 6-3 edge in

shots on goal and limited the Tar Heels to one shot on goal in the secondhalf. The Irish also held a slim 5-4 advantage in corner kicks.Bock’s goal was her first of the season (and 41st of her career), and

was a combination of sustained Notre Dame pressure and some fortunatetiming. Sophomore forward Taylor Knaack played a through-ball thatsprang senior All-America forward Kerri Hanks on a breakaway down thecenter channel, but Hanks was met just outside the top of the box byUNC goalkeeper Anna Rodenbough, who seemingly played the ball outof danger. However, after a deflection, the ball ended up at Bock’s feet onthe right wing in front of the Irish bench, where the Hermann Trophycandidate took one dribble and with the look of a precision bomber,delivered a curling 30-yard shot that arced over a furiously backpedalingRodenbough and disappeared into the upper left corner of the net at50:21.Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander was able to profit from yet another steady

performance by the Notre Dame defense, making three saves to recordher second consecutive solo shutout.Notre Dame controlled the offensive flow for much of the first half,

putting all four of their shots on goal in the period. UNC had a pair ofshots on goal in the first half, both coming from Casey Nogueira, butLysander stood her ground and kept the hosts off the board.Notre Dame kept up its pressure in the early stages of the second half,

as Hanks got loose in the offensive third just three minutes into theperiod, only to have her left-footed shot from 15 yards out sail wide ofthe left post. Bock’s score came a little more than two minutes later, andwhile the Irish didn’t know it at the time, that would be their final shoton goal of the game.North Carolina came back with a vengeance after Notre Dame took

the lead but the Irish defense held. The Tar Heels’ aggressiveness nearlycaught up with them at the 77-minute mark, as Hanks got by the UNCdefense on a counterattack and tried a 20-yard chip that sailed overRodenbough’s outstretched hand, but clipped the underside of thecrossbar and bounced back into play.North Carolina turned up the heat one final time down the stretch and

they earned a pair of corner kicks in the waning moments, but it wasn’tuntil Nogueira’s final shot of the night went off-target with 22 secondsleft that the Irish victory finally was assured.

GameRecapsAfter the first-half stalemate, it didn’t take long for the Irish to break

through in the second half. Brittany Bock ran on to a ball down the rightflank and just before reaching the endline, she chipped the ball into thesix-yard box, where Hanks pounced on the ball and flushed it home forthe 1-0 lead at 46:09.Duke rallied back and pressed for the equalizer, with Jane Alukonis

getting off a pair of shots, one of which had to be saved by Lysander.Alukonis then played a role in the Blue Devils’ tying goal, sending acorner kick into the box that deflected off Duke’s Lorraine Quinn andIrish senior defender Carrie Dew before sailing into the top left cornerof the Irish goal at 59:15. Quinn was credited with the goal.Notre Dame began to find its rhythm on offense, pushing into the

attacking third and getting a shot on goal and two corners from Hanks.The Irish then got the go-ahead score in a flash when Weissenhofer’scorner kick pinballed through the Duke defense before landing atIantorno’s feet near the top right edge of the box. She quickly shoveleda pass to Fowlkes, who muscled a shot through the Blue Devil restrainingline and into the top left corner of the net (66:19).In the 71st minute Iantorno had another pivotal role in the goal. After

Weissenhofer had taken two shots on goal of her own, she played asupporting role, taking a pass 40 yards out with her back to goal anddropping off a pass to a slashing Mendoza in the left channel. Thediminutive midfielder then worked a pretty give-and-go with Iantorno,who was parked a few yards outside the left corner of the area, andMendoza did the rest with a superb left-footed shot that looped overDuke’s charging goalkeeper, Cassidy Powers, and started off frame beforecurling nicely back into the top left corner of the net (70:32).

CHICAGO, Ill. - Kerri Hanks scored with less than 13 minutesremaining, lifting No. 1 Notre Dame to a 1-0 victory over DePaul onFriday afternoon at Wish Field in Chicago. The Irish dominated the runof play for much of their BIG EAST Conference opener, and finally brokethrough the Blue Demons’ defensive posture and registered their sixthshutout in seven games this season.Hanks ultimately cashed in the reward after Notre Dame had pillaged

the DePaul defensive third, picking up the ball 35 yards from goal in theslot and feeding sophomore midfielder Erica Iantorno at the top of thepenalty box. Iantorno then delivered a nifty return pass to Hanks, whomade a smart angled run toward the left edge of the area, gathered theball in stride and struck a hard left-footed shot low into the far right-sidenetting for her sixth goal of the season at 77:18. Hanks reached four more career milestones in one fell swoop with her

second-half score at DePaul.

What’s more, she collected the19th gamewinning goal of her career, tying the Notre Dame record heldby Jenny Heft (1996-99) and Michelle McCarthy (1992-95). The scorealso gave Hanks 57 career gamewinning points (19G-19A), breaking theIrish record set by Katie Thorlakson (2002-05).Notre Dame outshot DePaul, 24-2, in the contest, including an 11-1

margin in shots on goal. In fact, the Irish held the Blue Demons to asingle shot in each half. Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander was credited withone save in posting her third solo shutout this year.Playing as the top-ranked team in the nation for the first time in two

seasons, the Irish went on the offensive early, taking nine shots in the firsthalf (five on goal).Notre Dame elevated its offensive pressure in the second half, and

nearly broke through in the first 10 minutes of the period when EliseWeber slashed into the area and cracked a left-footed shot from 15 yardsout that caromed off the crossbar at 53:51.Hoinkes then did her part to keep the Irish off the board, finishing

with a career-high 10 saves for the Blue Demons.After breaking through with Hanks’ goal, Notre Dame preserved its

lead by maintaining possession for the vast majority of the final 12minutes, with DePaul invading the Irish defensive third just twice in thatspan.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Melissa Henderson and Kerri Hanksscored a little more than two minutes apart in the first half, helping top-ranked Notre Dame remain undefeated this season with a 3-1 win overNo. 17/16 Penn State at Jeffrey Field in University Park, Pa.Sunday’s triumph also represented a personal milestone for 10th-year

Notre Dame head coach Randy Waldrum, who became the eighth activeNCAA Division I coach to earn 300 career victories. However, the winwas bittersweet for Waldrum, who was not in attendance at Sunday’sgame due to a death in his family. Although Penn State held a 15-11 edge in total shots, Notre Dame

owned the advantage in shots on goal (9-4). The Nittany Lions did recorda 5-1 margin in corner kicks, the first time all season the Irish did notlead in that department. Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander tied her season highwith three saves to pick up the win.

Penn State commanded the run of play for the first 15 minutes, withJess Rosenbluth serving a dangerous cross into the area in the thirdminute, and Danielle Toney lofting a chip toward the far left post aminutes later. Yet, the Irish settled down and began to probe the NittanyLions’ defense, with Hanks and Henderson getting into the penalty boxand testing PSU goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher with chips and crosses.Hanks then started the game’s first scoring sequence, dropping off a

ball for Brittany Bock 35 yards out. Bock swung a pass out to defenderJulie Scheidler, who was making an overlapping run down the right side.Scheidler took one touch, then served a pinpoint cross into the heart ofthe Penn State area, where Henderson ducked in front of her defenderand rose up to flick a header that eluded Naeher at the far left post(17:54) for the rookie forward’s fifth goal of the year.Just over two minutes later, Notre Dame doubled its lead, and again,

Henderson used her head to create the scoring chance. This time, she ranon to a left side throw-in by midfielder Rose Augustin, nodding the ballfrom the top left edge of the area to a cutting Hanks near the penaltyspot. Hanks had her first shot blocked, but gathered the loose ball to leftof the spot, turned on her right shoulder and drilled a low left-footed shotthat tucked neatly inside the far right post (19:57) for her team-leadingseventh goal of the season.Less than a minute after entering the game, Erica Iantorno gathered

up a throw-in down the left side, cut past her defender to the end lineand sent a left-footed cross back into the box. Michele Weissenhofer wasparked eight yards out in the goal mouth, and despite getting pulled tothe ground by an overzealous defender, Weissenhofer still met Iantorno’scross with a picture-perfect left-footed volley into the center nettingbefore Naeher could get back in position.Penn State got a goal back only 21 seconds after Weissenhofer’s score.

Nikki Watts tracked down a ball on the right side and crossed from theend line into the penalty area, where the ball skipped off Lysander’s handsto Carly Niness, who found herself virtually alone on the left side of thesix-yard box. She gathered in the wayward ball and buried it before theNotre Dame defense could recover.The Nittany Lions actually outshot Notre Dame, 6-4 in the second

half, but Lysander was called upon to make just one save, as most of thePenn State shots sailed well off target from distance (outside the penaltyarea).

before the Irish began to exert pressure on the Louisville defense,culminating with Hanks’ first goal.Iantorno continued to cement her reputation as Notre Dame’s “super

sub,” registering her three-point night less than 10 minutes after comingon as a substitute at the 31-minute mark. First, she streaked down theright flank and sent a cross into the box that Michele Weissenhoferdummied beautifully for Courtney Barg, who ripped a low shot back toher left inside the post for her first career goal (33:35). Less than sevenminutes later, Iantorno converted a gift from the Cardinals’ defense, asWeber sent a ball from the left wing into the box, where Kiefermishandled and Iantorno easily slammed the loose ball into an empty netfor her third goal of the year (40:32).Held to one shot on goal in the first half, Louisville came out of the

intermission with renewed vigor, with Chelsea Spencer testing Irishgoalkeeper Kelsey Lysander just over two minutes in with a drive fromthe top of the box that Lysander parried wide of the right post. Louisvillefinally broke through at 71:18, as Mallory Lampson’s corner kick from theright flag was knocked down by the Irish defense, but the ball droppeduntouched inside the six-yard box. Cardinal forward Shannon Smythseized the opportunity and was just able to get a foot on the ball beforeLysander could recover, notching her third goal of the season.

Gettler Stadium (Cincinnati, Ohio)CINCINNATI, Ohio - Forward Melissa Henderson collected her first

career hat trick and No. 1 Notre Dame held Cincinnati without a singleshot on goal, blowing past the host Bearcats, 6-0 at Gettler Stadium.Defender Haley Ford added a goal and an assist, her first points of theyear, and Kerri Hanks added her team-high 10th goal of the season.With as much offensive firepower as Notre Dame displayed, its defense

was equally impressive, preventing UC from getting any shots on goal andmounting any serious threats until the closing minutes of the game. TheIrish wound up outshooting the Bearcats, 19-7 (10-0 in shots on goal)although Cincinnati did hold a 5-3 edge on corner kicks. GoalkeeperKelsey Lysander went the first 75:13 in the Notre Dame net before NikkiWeiss wrapped up the seventh Irish shutout in 10 games this season. Notre Dame continued to keep the play in its offensive third as the

first half wore on, and it finally paid dividends in the 27th minute. Dewstarted the sequence by picking off a soft lead pass by Cincinnati andracing down the left flank before dropping a pass inside to Hanks at thetop left corner of the area. Hanks took one dribble to her right anduncorked a low screamer just inside the far right post and out of the reachof UC goalkeeper Andrea Kaminski (26:49), with Dew registering herfirst point of the season.Henderson came on as a substitute for Hanks with a little less than 15

minutes to go in the first half and the Irish freshman needed just fiveminutes to find the back of the net, outracing two defenders beforebeating Kaminski low to the right post (35:01).Henderson’s forays into the offensive third paid off in the 72nd minute.

Courtney Rosen smartly chipped the UC backline, with Taylor Knaackrunning on to the lead pass on the right side of the box. Knaack droppeda pass out to Henderson on the right end line, with the Irish attackercutting back inside for a better angle and unleashing a quick low shot tothe far left post at 71:19.Rosen was the next to dent the scoring column, potting an unassisted

goal at 75:13. Just 33 seconds later, Henderson completed her hat trick,as Ford’s long cross-field pass from the right flank bounced high on theGettler Stadium FieldTurf over a defender‘s head on the left side of thearea and right to Henderson, who trapped the ball, one-touched back toher right and scorched a right-footed drive from 15 yards out under thecrossbar. The Irish then closed out the scoring at 79:30, as Rosen’s freekick from the short right corner (just outside the box) pinballed aroundthe six-yard box before Ford poked home her first career goal.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Melissa Henderson scored her ninth goal of theseason in the 20th minute and Notre Dame’s defense did the rest, holdingits opponent without a shot on goal for the second consecutive game, asthe Irish recorded a solid 3-0 win over South Florida.Midfielder Rose Augustin added her second goal of the year in the 34th

minute on a splendid blast from long distance and Kerri Hanks punctuatedthe victory with a PK goal in the 52nd minute.By contrast, it was a slow night for Notre Dame’s goalkeepers, who

rarely touched the ball. Kelsey Lysander went the first 85 minutes betweenthe pipes before giving way to Nikki Weiss, who preserved the eighth Irishshutout this season.As a team, Notre Dame outshot South Florida, 27-0, including a 13-0

edge in shots on goal. Notre Dame also held a decisive 7-0 advantage incorner kicks against USF, and the Irish were able to substitute liberally inthe second half, with 26 of the 28 healthy players on the roster seeingaction on Friday night.It didn’t take long for Notre Dame to venture into South Florida

territory, as Henderson got loose on the left side of the penalty area andwas pulled down for a penalty kick just 65 seconds into the game.However, the Irish couldn’t capitalize, as Hanks’ ensuing PK try caromedoff the left post, her first miss in 10 career penalty kicks during the run ofplay.Notre Dame continued its relentless pressure, winning three corner

kicks in the first nine minutes of the contest. The Irish finally brokethrough at 19:23, as Brittany Bock drove a precision thru-ball toHenderson near the top of the box, and the Notre Dame rookie showedincredible patience, dribbling twice to her left to pull Mallori Lofton-Malachi out of position and then slip a left-footed shot low to the far rightpost for her fourth goal in the past two games.After Lofton-Malachi and the Bulls defense cleared away some trouble

in the area, the ball landed back out at Augustin’s feet some 38 feet fromgoal in the left channel. The second-year Irish midfielder wasted little time,taking a touch before uncorking a rising right-footed blast that eluded theUSF ‘keeper and buried into far upper right 90 at 33:46.

Hanks got the chance to redeem herself from the earlier penalty-kickmiss less than seven minutes into the second half, after Taylor Knaack washauled down in the area near the right short corner. This time, the three-time Irish All-American left nothing to chance, drilling her spot shot pasta diving Lofton-Malachi for her 75th career goal (51:53).

GAME #12 — Oct. 5, 2008#1 Notre Dame 3, Marquette 1Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - After finding itself trailing for the first time allseason, No. 1 Notre Dame made sure that deficit didn’t last long, asBrittany Bock scored twice in a span of 86 seconds to help the Irish racepast fellow BIG EAST Conference divisional leader Marquette, 3-1 beforea crowd of 1,785 fans at Alumni Field. Kerri Hanks assisted on Bock‘s firstgoal before converting the clinching penalty kick in the 88th minute tobecome Notre Dame’s all-time leader with 213 points (76 goals, 61assists), passing Jenny Streiffer (211 from 1996-99).Notre Dame controlled the run of play for much of the second half and

finished with a 32-11 shot advantage, with an 8-6 edge in shots on goal.The Irish also trumped the Golden Eagles with a 10-0 margin on cornerkicks, while MU’s physical style resulted in a 19-12 spread on fouls. After not being tested at all in the previous two games, goalkeeper

Kelsey Lysander had a busy afternoon, stopping a career-high five shots topreserve the victory. Marquette saw its five-game unbeaten streak snapped,despite a 60th-minute goal from Danielle Martens. Goalkeeper NatalieKulla went the distance for the Golden Eagles, making four saves, whilethe MU defense also was credited with a team save.Tied at the half for just the fourth time all season, Notre Dame stormed

out of the locker room with a purpose, firing off seven shots in the firstnine minutes of the second half, but none of them found the mark. Butmoments later, Rose Augustin was roughly dispossessed from behind andMarquette took off on a counterattack. Julia Victor served a long lead passfor Mertens, who tracked down the ball in the right channel, cut past adefender and slipped a shot past Lysander into the low right corner of thenet (59:06).

Just two minutes after Marquette took the lead, Bock won a ball atmidfield and sprang Hanks on a long run down the left wing. Hanksmade a nice move at the left endline and drove a pass back into the heartof the box, where Bock was trailing the play. The veteran frontliner settledthe ball, dribbled once to her right and lofted a perfectly-placed chip overKulla and into the upper right corner of the MU net (61:06).Just 1:26 after Bock’s goal, Weissenhofer unleashed one of her

powerful flip-throws from the right sideline 25 yards from goal. The ballsailed into the area, where Bock got loose at the edge of the six-year boxand soared high above the Marquette defense to flick a header low intothe far left sidenetting (62:32).Suddenly trailing by a goal, the Golden Eagles tried to throw the

kitchen sink at Notre Dame, managing three shots on goal down thestretch, but all three were from distance and not a serious threat to getpast Lysander. At the same time, the Irish pressed for the clincher, and gotit when Taylor Knaack came on in the 86th minute and almost instantlyslashed between two MU defenders into the area before being draggeddown just left of the six-yard box for a penalty kick. Hanks then steppedup and hammered her PK past a diving Kulla to become Notre Dame’scareer points leader (87:31).

for 10th place on the NCAA Division I career points list with 216markers (77G-62A), pulling even with former Penn State standoutChristie Welsh.Boosted by a raucous crowd, Georgetown came right back. Samantha

Baker threatened the Irish penalty area throughout the day with herlengthy throw-ins, and it paid dividends for the host team at 16:29, asBaker’s throw sailed to the near post, where Stephanie Zare was campedout and rose above the crowd to nod a shot to the far post, tying the gameat 1-1.Notre Dame wasted almost no time in getting that goal back, needing

just 89 seconds to regain the lead. After a flurry in the box that includeda shot by Henderson, the Georgetown defense cleared the ball to the edgeof the offensive third, where Scheidler trapped the loose ball and chippedit back into the area. As Henderson raced back on-side, Barg outleapedher defender near the penalty spot and flicked a header to Henderson onthe left wing. Henderson quickly settled the flick and snapped off a lowshot to the far post from six yards out under a diving DesJardins at 17:58.Halftime proved to be more adventurous than normal for Georgetown,

as head coach Dave Nolan continued his vocal displeasure with theofficiating, and the game bureaucracy finally had enough, showing theGU coach his second yellow card (resulting in a red-card ejection).The Irish stormed out of the intermission with a purpose and got the

all-important insurance goal just over five minutes into the second half.Henderson started the sequence with a pass out to Hanks in the rightchannel of the offensive third. In turn, Hanks delivered a clever through-ball that found Barg in stride behind the Georgetown defense and inalone on DesJardins. Barg effortlessly drilled a sharp daisy cutter underthe GU netminder for her second goal of the season at 50:01.Georgetown had a pair of free kicks from less than 30 yards out in the

final 10 minutes, but one attempt was blocked by the Notre Damedefensive wall, while another skipped harmlessly in on Lysander. CaitlinDurkee also wriggled free on the right side of the box in the closing

GAME #14 — Oct. 12, 2008#1 Notre Dame 3, Villanova 2 (OT)

West Campus Complex (Villanova, Pa.)VILLANOVA, Pa. - Rose Augustin rifled home the “golden goal” less

than seven minutes into overtime as No. 1 Notre Dame stretched itsseason-opening winning streak to 14 games with a hard-fought 3-2overtime win at BIG EAST Conference foe Villanova on at VU‘s WestCampus Soccer Complex. It was the first time all season that the Irishwere taken to an extra period, but the end result was Notre Dame’sseventh consecutive three-goal game and an extension of its BIG EASTunbeaten streak to 45 games, the third-longest in NCAA Division Ihistory.Augustin’s OT gamewinner was the first of her career and her third

goal of the 2008 season. However, it was set up by the hard work of EliseWeber, who battled to pry loose the ball near the left side and angled herdribble back toward goal before lofting a precision cross-field pass thatfloated over a crowded offensive third and found Augustin unmarked atthe right flank. She pushed forward on a dribble into the penalty area anduncorked a low rocket into the far left-side netting from 15 yards out(96:58).The Irish wound up with a 24-7 edge in total shots (15-4 in shots on

goal) and held a 7-5 margin on corner kicks. The game was physical atboth ends, with the teams combining for 33 fouls (18 by Villanova) anda pair of yellow cards (both to VU). Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander wascredited with the victory, stopping two shots.The victory capped a wild swing of emotions for Notre Dame, which

appeared to have the game under control in the first half after scoringtwice in the first eight minutes of play with a brilliant 1-2 punch fromBrittany Bock and Kerri Hanks. Bock ran on to a cross from JulieScheidler and nodded it past the charging VU goalkeeper, Molly Williams(3:06).On Notre Dame’s next offensive flurry, Courtney Rosen won the ball

at midfield and lofted a chip over the Wildcats’ backline, where KerriHanks outraced a pair of VU defenders into the box before being hauleddown and drawing a penalty kick. Hanks then finished the job she started,slotting her 14th goal of the season (7:56).While Notre Dame looked to finish off Villanova, the Wildcats would

have none of it and instead, they halved their deficit at 50:26 on anothercorner kick. Rachel Schuyler sent the ball in from the flag, where KellyEagan played a slow grounder on net from the penalty spot that was re-directed by Grace Hawkins at the six-yard box and trickled through themaze of humanity inside the left post.The Wildcats countered again, and despite taking just three shots in

the second half, they found the back of the net again, this time with 8:12remaining, and again it came from a corner kick set. This time, LauraSylvester was the beneficiary, fighting through a goal-mouth scramble andsomehow toe-poking the loose ball across the line before Lysander couldclear it from danger.The final minutes of regulation took on a frantic feel once Villanova

scored, with Notre Dame furiously squeezing off shot after shot andWilliams orchestrating a VU defense that gamely held its ground.Williams finished with a career-high 12 saves, including eight in thesecond half.VU got its best chance of the overtime period less than three minutes

in, as Erin Hardiman sprang loose along the left edge of the penalty box,but Rosen smartly backtracked and was able to tackle the ball away fora corner kick that subsequently was driven out of the area. Weber thenmade her own bid for a gamewinner, but her 25-yard knuckler from theleft side drifted wide right. Her next touch three minutes later would betrue, as she started the “golden goal” sequence that Augustin cashed in.

first 20 minutes of play, with Henderson doing the honors at 13:56. Bockstarted the sequence with a right side throw-in to Rosen at the corner ofthe penalty area before she dropped off a pass to Bock, who was loopingbehind the play toward the center of the field. Bock cracked a rising left-footed cross into the area that cleared the Providence defense and landedat Henderson’s feet on the left side of the box. She took one dribble backto her right and then found pay dirt with a screamer into the low leftcorner of the net.Then, for the fifth consecutive game, Hanks rifled home a PK (18:27),

extending her goalscoring streak to nine games.Already leading 2-0, Notre Dame gained another advantage at 62:43

in the second half, as Maria Whaley received her second yellow card fora “studs-up” tackle from behind on Hanks. The second caution resultedin an automatic red card and her exile from the game, leaving Providenceto play the final 27-plus minutes one man down. The Irish capitalized onthat edge 10 minutes later when Bock won a ball at midfield anddelivered a sweet through-ball to Hanks, who was alone in the leftchannel. As she streaked into the area, she drew two defenders with her,leaving Henderson unmarked in the goal mouth, where the Irish rookiefinished off Hanks’ crossing pass with a low shot inside the right post from10 yards out (72:40). Bock, who led the Irish with seven shots (six on goal) at Providence,

did much of the dirty work for Notre Dame on its next score at 77:17,tracking down a deflected shot on the left endline inside the penalty area.As she pivoted to serve a ball back across the goalmouth, Bock wascleared out by a PC defender, resulting in the second penalty kick of theday for the Irish. In a classy and unselfish move, Hanks relinquished herrole as Notre Dame’s regular PK specialist to Bock, who stepped forwardto drive home her fifth goal of the season, and the first of her career fromthe penalty spot.Weissenhofer capped the scoring in the final minute, switching the

GAME #16 — Oct. 19, 2008#1 Notre Dame 2, Connecticut 0Morrone Stadium (Storrs, Conn.)

STORRS, Conn. - Kerri Hanks scored twice and the Notre Damedefense turned in a stellar performance as the top-ranked Irish clinchedthe 2008 BIG EAST Conference National Division title with a 2-0 victoryover Connecticut at Morrone Stadium. Hanks’ two-goal flurry was thehighlight in a handful of record-setting moments for Notre Dame, whichalso has matched the best single-season start in school history, originallyset back in 2000 by head coach Randy Waldrum’s second Irish club.Hanks scored in each half, giving her 81 career goals to top Jenny Heft’sold school record of 80 tallies set from 1996-99. Sunday’s victory carried added significance for Notre Dame, which

historically has had trouble at Morrone Stadium, going 1-2-2 atConnecticut in its five previous trips to Storrs. This time around, NotreDame was sharp at both ends of the field, outshooting Connecticut, 27-11, including a sizeable 15-1 margin in shots on goal. UConn did registerthe only two corner kicks in the contest, marking the first time in twoseasons (Oct. 22, 2006, at Georgetown) that the Irish didn’t earn at leastone try from the flag.In what became a recurring theme all season, Notre Dame jumped out

to an early lead, scoring in the first 20 minutes for the 11th time in 16games. Courtney Barg started the sequence by corralling a loose ball inthe center of the Connecticut half of the field and quickly threading adiagonal pass to Brittany Bock, who was racing down the right channel.Bock pushed the dribble to the right endline and delivered a perfectly-placed cross into the heart of the six-yard box, where Hanks rose up andsnapped a header into the right-center portion of the net at 8:38.In the second half, Henderson got things moving in the right direction

after backtracking to tackle away a ball at midfield. She then worked theball ahead to Rebecca Mendoza, who smartly shoveled a one-touch passto Bock cutting laterally across the offensive third. The veteran took onedribble, which looked to be too far in front of her, but she recovered andmanaged to toe-poke a pass to Hanks near the top right corner of thepenalty area. Hanks cut back against the grain and uncorked a world-classleft-footed blast from 20 yards out that kept twisting away from Labbe,for the 2-0 lead (70:14).The two-goal margin would be more than enough for the experienced

Notre Dame defense. Connecticut did get a solid build-up in the 78thminute, as reserve forward Cory Bildstein ran on to a through-ball at theright side of the penalty area and drove a hard right-footed shot thatwound up going wide of the left post. In addition to that effort,goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander efficiently managed her area, making one saveon the way to her fourth solo shutout of the season and Notre Dame’s10th clean sheet of the year.

GAME #18 — Oct. 26, 2008#1 Notre Dame 6, Seton Hall 0Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Oft-injured senior forward Kerry Inglisdelivered one of the more memorable Senior Day performances in schoolhistory, scoring the first two goals of her career to help No. 1 Notre Damewrap up its first unbeaten and untied regular season with a 6-0 win overSeton Hall on a wind-swept afternoon at Alumni Field. MelissaHenderson also scored twice, Kerri Hanks and Brittany Bock each addeda pair of assists, with Hanks extending her point-scoring streak to a schoolrecord-tying 14 games.The Irish dominated the run of play throughout the game, finishing

with a 27-2 edge in total shots (11-0 in shots on goal), as both Seton Hallshots — one in each half — came harmlessly from well outside thepenalty area. Notre Dame also earned all 15 corner kicks in the game,tying a Waldrum-era school record for attempts from the flag (Sept. 1,2000, vs. Tulsa), and saw eight of its 10 starters in the field register at leastone point.Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander worked the first half in the Irish goal

before giving way to Nikki Weiss for the final 45 minutes. Neither playerwas called upon to make a save as Notre Dame turned in its 11th shutoutof the season, and the seventh combined clean sheet for Lysander andWeiss.Following a pre-game Senior Day ceremony, Waldrum elected to start

all six of his seniors — Inglis, Hanks, Bock, midfielder Rebecca Mendozaand defenders Carrie Dew and Elise Weber — with Inglis making her firstcareer start in her 18th career game. It didn’t take long for Inglis to openthe scoring, as Bock sent a cross from the right side of the area that foundits way through the Seton Hall defense and right on the foot of Inglis atthe back post, where she tapped in her first career goal (11:18). RoseAugustin earned the secondary assist on the score.Next, Hanks worked down the left side and found Bock on a diagonal

run into the box, where she tried to chip SHU goalkeeper ElizabethBond, who could only deflect it across the goalmouth. Henderson madea timely run to the back post and was able to easily slip the ball into thevacated net (31:21).Persistence paid off for the Irish second unit in the waning moments

of the first half, as Taylor Knaack ran on to a loose ball in the area andfired a rising point-blank shot that Bond did well to repel. However, therebound was returned to sender and Knaack took advantage of thesecond opportunity, toe-poking a shot into the lower left corner for hersecond goal of the year at 42:09.Already with its traditionally impregnable 3-0 lead at halftime, Notre

Dame eliminated of the remaining drama in Sunday’s game with a pair ofgoals just 66 seconds apart midway through the second half. Weberopened the first scoring sequence, driving a cross from the left flank allthe way to the right edge of the area, where Henderson was cutting backacross the face of goal and volleyed the pass with the outside of her rightfoot into right sidenetting (62:34).Then off a corner kick, Hanks sent a drive all the way to the left post

where Courtney Rosen nodded the ball back inside the goalmouth andMichele Weissenhofer drove home a shot from close range for her thirdscore of the year (63:40).Inglis capped the festivities and sent the Irish bench into an advanced

stage of delirium with her second goal of the game at the 84:24 mark,finishing off a goal-mouth scramble. Erica Iantorno and Ellen Jantschcollected assists after keeping alive a play that started with yet anotherNotre Dame corner kick.

GAME #19 — Nov. 2, 2008BIG EAST Championship - Quarterfinal

#1 Notre Dame 5, Cincinnati 0Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Michele Weissenhofer had two assists and setup two other goals, part of a three-goal eruption in the opening 15minutes, and Kerri Hanks added two more assists as top-ranked NotreDame rolled over Cincinnati, 5-0, in a BIG EAST ConferenceChampionship quarterfinal game at Alumni Field.Elise Weber scored her first goal of the season, while Courtney Rosen

and Taylor Knaack each tallied their third goals of the year. Weber alsobecame the 17th different Irish player to score a goal this season, tyingthe school record originally set by the 1996 club (which also previouslyheld the record for most point-scorers in a season with 20, before thisyear’s squad topped that mark with 21).The Irish dominated the Bearcats in all facets of the game, outshooting

the visitors by a 30-4 count (18-1 in shots in goal). Notre Dame also tookall eight corner kicks, while Cincinnati was charged with 17 fouls to 14for the Irish. In addition, there were five yellow cards handed out duringthe afternoon, with three going to UC players.Irish goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander was hardly tested in the Notre Dame

nets on Sunday, making one save on a harmless shot from distance thatrolled into the box. At halftime, Lysander gave way to Nikki Weiss, wholiterally never touched the ball — not even for a backpass or goal kick— in the final 45 minutes. The end result was Notre Dame’s 12th shutoutof the season (fourth in the past five games) and the eighth combinedwhitewash for Lysander and Weiss.Waldrum made a strategic move to start Weissenhofer on the front line

and slide Brittany Bock to the attacking midfielder position. It took all of60 seconds for that decision to pay off, as Weissenhofer launched one ofher trademark flip-throws from the right sideline, and the ball carried allthe way into the six-yard box, where a pair of Cincinnati defendersconverged, but couldn’t keep the ball out of the net for an own-goal anda 1-0 Irish lead.Weissenhofer then added two more conventional assists in a span of

2:40 to help Notre Dame pull away. First, she dropped off a pass forWeber on the left wing, where the veteran back slanted to the corner ofthe penalty box, eased around a defender and uncorked a rising shot thatnestled into the top right corner of the net (12:15). Moments later, Hanksdrove a corner kick into the area, with Weissenhofer cutting inside herdefender to flick a header towards the far post. Her shot was cleared offthe line by a UC defender, but the clearance caromed upwards off theunderside of the crossbar before deflecting back out to an on-rushingRosen, who muscled the ball home at 14:55.Hanks picked up her second assist of the afternoon later in the first

half, finding Knaack on an overlapping run down the left flank. Knaackcut back against the grain and drove a twisting 30-yard rocket that UC‘keeper Andrea Kaminski dove in vain to stop before it curled into thetop left corner of the net (34:07). Notre Dame took 14 of the 15 shots registered in the second half, and

while the Irish peppered Kaminski from all angles in the period, theyadded just one goal to the margin. Again, Weissenhofer’s flip-throw wasthe culprit, as her toss sailed into the area, where it appeared theCincinnati defense overcompensated with several additional guardians onthe goal line, but they only managed to play the ball back into their netfor the second own-goal of the day at 61:26.

GAME #20 — Nov. 7, 2008BIG EAST Championship - Semifinal#1 Notre Dame 2, #NR/25 Marquette 0Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - For the fifth consecutive year and the 12thtime in 14 seasons, the No. 1-ranked Notre Dame women’s soccer teamhas advanced to the BIG EAST Conference Championship final by virtueof a 2-0 win over No. 25 Marquette on a cold and blustery night atAlumni Field. Michele Weissenhofer and Taylor Knaack continued their recent

resurgence, with Weissenhofer potting her fourth goal of the year andscoring a point for the fourth time in six games. Meanwhile, Knaack cameoff the bench to score a goal for the third consecutive game, getting an

unassisted tally early in the second half. High-scoring forward MelissaHenderson, the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, registered her first assistas a collegian after setting up Weissenhofer’s goal.Notre Dame was sharp at both ends of the field on Friday, outshooting

the Golden Eagles, 27-4, including an 11-1 margin in shots on goal. TheIrish also chipped more than their fair share of paint off the woodwork,hitting the post or crossbar an amazing five times on the night. Inaddition, Marquette goalkeeper Natalie Kulla was outstanding betweenthe pipes and was largely responsible for keeping her team in the contest,making a career-high nine saves, including a couple of eye-popping one-handed stops on point-blank shots that seemingly were destined for goal.Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander was called upon to make one save while

recording her fifth shutout of the season and the 13th clean sheet of theyear for the Irish. Despite missing two of their top offensive threats (Kerri Hanks and

Brittany Bock), Notre Dame didn’t miss a beat on Friday, leaning hard onMarquette early, throwing five shots on frame in the first 20 minutes. AfterHenderson was denied by the Marquette ‘keeper for a third time just pastthe 20-minute mark of the first half, the splendid Notre Dame rookiechanged tactics and punished the Golden Eagles as a playmaker, drivingdown the left flank toward the endline before sending a low cross intothe box. Weissenhofer came crashing in from the weak side and roofedher sliding shot from eight yards away before Kulla could recover (27:00).Notre Dame’s pressure finally paid off shortly after halftime, as

Henderson raced down the left side and threaded a cross into the six-yardbox that Kulla dove out to tip away. However, with the netminder out ofposition, Knaack pounced on the loose ball, settled and chopped a shottoward the center of the goal that MU defender Allison McBride couldonly poke at in vain before it found the back of the net (49:42).Staring at a precipitous 2-0 deficit (Notre Dame now is 300-0-1 all-

time when going ahead by that score), Marquette tried to battle back, asDanielle Martens took the one shot on goal for the Golden Eagles at58:13, rolling a shot in on Lysander from distance. MU had a much betterscoring opportunity about seven minutes later, when Martens took theball in the left channel and set off for goal, but her left-footed shot rolledwide of the right post and with it, the visitors’ last scoring chance of theevening.

GAME #21 — Nov. 9, 2008BIG EAST Championship - Final

#1 Notre Dame 1, Connecticut 0 (OT)Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Melissa Henderson scored at 6:58 of the firstovertime, lifting top-ranked Notre Dame to a 1-0 victory overConnecticut in the BIG EAST Championship final on a cold and dampafternoon at Alumni Field. It’s the 10th conference title for the Irish intheir 14 seasons as a BIG EAST member.

Henderson was named the BIG EAST Championship MostOutstanding Offensive Player (just the second rookie ever to earn thehonor following Notre Dame’s Anne Makinen in 1997). MicheleWeissenhofer returned the favor in Sunday’s title game, earning the assiston Henderson’s winning tally when her initial shot from the top of thepenalty area was stopped by Connecticut goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe, butthe rebound squirted towards the goal line and Henderson pounced onthe loose ball, poking it home from two yards out. It was the firstpostseason “golden goal” for Notre Dame since Nov. 2, 2003 againstMiami (Fla.).

With two of its top offensive threats (Kerri Hanks and Brittany Bock)sidelined for precautionary reasons, Notre Dame still held a significantstatistical edge throughout the championship game, outshooting theHuskies, 29-13 (15-2 on goal). UConn had the upper hand on cornerkicks by a 5-3 margin, while the Irish committed 14 fouls to 11 for theHuskies in what was a physical, yet cleanly-played affair worthy of aconference final.

Goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander worked seamlessly with the Notre Damedefense all afternoon, making two saves to record her sixth shutout of theseason and the team’s 14th clean sheet in 21 games this year.

Henderson, Weissenhofer and Lysander were joined on the BIGEAST Championship All-Tournament Team by co-captain Carrie Dew,who also was named the BIG EAST Championship Most OutstandingDefensive Player, and senior Elise Weber.

Labbe, the hero of Connecticut’s semifinal shootout win over No.13/12 West Virginia, turned in another superb performance, tying hercareer high with 13 saves.Weissenhofer had perhaps the most tantalizing scoring chance of the

first half at 21:23, as she rose to meet Rose Augustin’s free kick from the

86 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N O T R E D A M E ®

right flank and snapped a flick header to the far left post, but the UConndefense covered well for Labbe and cleared the ball off the line.

Augustin herself got another crack on goal two minutes afterWeissenhofer’s try, and Erica Iantorno did likewise in the 37th minute, butwhile both shots from distance were on frame, Labbe was there to keepthe scoreboard spotless.

After a scoreless second half, the overtime period belonged largely toNotre Dame as the Irish took all four shots in the abbreviated session,with three of the four winding up on frame. Weissenhofer started thesequence that finally defrosted the UConn goal, taking a direct line downthe center of the offensive third before angling slightly to her left andripping a low drive that Labbe attempted to hug to her chest as she wasfalling to her left. However, she misjudged the power on Weissenhofer’sleft-footed shot and the ball caromed toward the right post, whereHenderson outraced the Husky goalkeeper to the loose ball and jabbedat it with her right foot, shepherding the rolling sphere into the emptynet for her 16th goal of the season and the championship-winning score.

GAME #22 — Nov. 14, 2008NCAA Championship - First Round

#1 Notre Dame 5, Toledo 2Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - With two goals, Rose Augustin led the top-ranked Irish to a 5-2 win over Toledo in NCAA tournament first roundplay at Alumni Field; but it was Kerri Hanks who stole the headlines asher two assists not only helped overcome a pesky Toledo squad, but placedher firmly atop the record books as she became just the third player inDivision I women’s soccer history to reach the 70-goals, 70-assists plateau.Aside from Augustin, whose second goal proved to be the game winner,Carrie Dew, Melissa Henderson and Erica Iantorno also scored for theIrish. After a two-game layoff, Hanks announced her intent early as she had

the game’s first scoring opportunity, testing Toledo’s goalkeeper, VickiTraven, with a drive from ten-yards out that the reigning MAC freshmanof the Year turned aside for her first of 12 saves. But the Irish were still able to strike early as Dew, the 2008 BIG EAST

Defensive player of the Year, gave the Irish a 1-0 lead just 7:14 into thecontest when she poked home a loose ball from just outside of the Toledonet. Dew had been situated in the box as Hanks sent in a free-kick shotfrom 30-yards out that Traven was unable to hold onto, and the lurkingDew netted her first goal of the year, becoming Notre Dame’s 18thdifferent player to score a goal this season.Notre Dame achieved a two-goal cushion at 13:05 when Augustin

forced a turnover in Toledo’s defensive third. She gathered the loose balland sent in a shot that beat Traven low and to the freshman ‘keeper’s leftside. But Augustin was not finished. Just over three minutes later, Hanksplayed the ball to Weissenhofer, who the found Augustin. The sophomoremidfielder promptly chipped in her second of the night to give the Irisha commanding 3-0 lead. Hanks thus earned the 70th assist of her career,joining UNC’s Mia Hamm and Notre Dame’s Jenny Streiffer as the onlyplayers in Division I women’s soccer history to reach the 70 career goalsand 70 career assists mark. But Toledo proved it would not go quietly into the night as their

leading scorer, Molly Cornwell, stepped up to take a free kick from 25-yards out. Cornwell sent a blast past the Irish defensive wall at 22:59 thatsent goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander diving to her left. The ball tailed awayfrom the Irish ‘keeper and put Toledo on the board.After being dragged down in the Toledo box, Weber stepped up to the

spot to try her luck. She elected to go with a slow run-up and proceededto shoot the ball just wide of Traven’s right post. But the relentless Irishattack regained a three-goal cushion at 36:20 when Henderson snappeda header in off a Courtney Barg cross from six-yards.Trailing 4-1 to start the second half, the Rockets attempted to get back

in the game and Lysander was forced to make her best save of the eveningwhen she snagged a powerful drive by Toledo’s Ana Reynolds in the 51stminute.As both coaches went to their benches and inserted more substitutes,

much of the final 20 minutes were played in the midfield. But the Irishwere able to net their fifth goal of the contest when Taylor Knaack

emerged from the midfield with possession and played in a cross fromthe right side that Iantorno knocked home for a 5-1 Irish lead at 77:28. The Rockets netted a late goal at 89:26 when Tara Witt played in

cross that skipped across the top of the box and fell to Kristen Lynn, whobounced a shot past Irish goalkeeper Nikki Weiss. Weiss played the last4:30 of the game in net for Notre Dame, making one save. Lysanderfinished with five saves for the Irish.

GAME #23 — Nov. 16, 2008NCAA Championship - Second Round#1 Notre Dame 1, Michigan State 0Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The No.1-ranked Notre Dame women’ssoccer team left it late in a thrilling contest at a wind-chilled AlumniField, eventually emerging with a 1-0 victory versus Michigan State toadvance to the third round of the NCAA Championship. At the 72:03mark sophomore midfielder Rose Augustin emerged with the game-winning goal, as she slid a low shot to the far side of the Spartan net forher third goal of the weekend. The Irish dominated the offensive side of the field all afternoon,

outshooting the Spartans by a 29 to three margin, including an eight totwo advantage in shots on net. But with Michigan State playing fiveacross the midfield and keeping 10 players behind the ball, the Irishfound it hard to create the final break in the Spartan defense.Notre Dame’s first scoring chance of the afternoon came just 2:55

into the game when Augustin sent a bending drive high of the Spartannet from 18-yards out after Kerri Hanks played in the first of NotreDame’s four corner kick attempts on the afternoon. In the 9th minuteAugustin had two more drives from the top of the box that Fliestra wasforced to save.Around 10 minutes into the contest, Michigan State’s Katelin Chaklos

created the Spartans’ most threatening move of the first half as she playeda cross from her left flank into the box that a streaking Lauren Hill waslooking to get on the end of, but Irish co-captain Carrie Dew was ableto clear away the danger.Coming out of the halftime break, Notre Dame looked to take

advantage of having the wind at its back, as Weissenhofer returned to thelineup and immediately created havoc in the Spartan box with a flip-throw from the far sideline. Augustin had Notre Dame’s first shot off theplay, but her drive was blocked. The loose ball fell to Hanks, who alsosaw her shot from inside the box blocked out of bounds to create anotherNotre Dame corner.The Irish continued to pressure the ball and created two successive

turnovers. First, Weissenhofer threw herself at a Spartan clearing attemptand deflected a shot in on net at 62:44 that Fliestra did well to save. ThenAugustin blocked another Spartan clearing attempt and found herselfone-on-one with Fliestra, but the freshman goalkeeper charged off herline to come up with a game-saving stop at 63:58.Next, Elise Weber tried her luck in breaking down the Spartan

backline, sending in a creative cross from the left flank that foundHenderson at the top of the box. With Weber’s pass landing directly ather feet, the freshman was able to play a clever one-touch pass a yard toher right for an onrushing Hanks. But the Spartan defense did enoughto force Hanks into a left-footed drive that went just wide of the net at65:56.Hanks then helped to create Augustin’s game winner, threading a

through ball to the top of the box that Augustin was able to run ontoand slot into the far corner. With the threat of a Hanks drive looming,Spartan ’keeper Fliestra had been moving to her right and could onlywatch as Augustin’s well placed shot found the opposite corner of hernet.Notre Dame goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander had to make a great play

with 30 seconds left in regulation. The junior charged off of her line tocome up with a loose ball that Michigan State’s Lauren Hill looked as ifshe would get to first. Lysander then saved Laura Heyboer’s attempt fromoutside the box at 88:19 to seal the win.

GAME #24 — Nov. 21, 2008NCAA Championship - Third Round

#1 Notre Dame 1, #22/24 Minnesota 0 (OT)Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Kerri Hanks slotted home a penalty kick withjust over three minutes to play in the first overtime to lift top-rankedNotre Dame to a 1-0 victory over Minnesota before a raucous crowd of3,132 fans at a wind-chilled Alumni Field. The win advanced the Irish tothe quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament for the fifth consecutiveseason.Hanks earned the penalty kick try after she burst down the far side

of the box and got off a weak shot as she was pulled down from behind.The referee pointed to the spot and Hanks stepped up to take her eighthpenalty kick of the season. Minnesota’s senior goalkeeper Lindsey Dareplayed well all night to keep the Golden Gophers in the game, but as shedove to her right, Hanks placed a shot in the bottom left of Dare’s netto secure Notre Dame’s passage into the national quarterfinals.Though they did not score the game winner until overtime, Notre

Dame had many chances to put the game away in regulation, as theyoutshot Minnesota by a 26 to 11 margin, including an 11 to two edge inshots on net. The Irish also generated eight corner kick attempts toMinnesota’s one.In the first half, Minnesota came out in an attacking formation and

generated the first shot of the game at 1:49 after their only corner kickof the match. The Irish defense held and blocked the attempt. NotreDame’s first good look at goal came at 6:44 when Melissa Hendersonwas sent in by Hanks, but she lifted her shot over the bar.The teams settled in as each side became acclimated with the slick

field and the freezing temperatures, and as the half wore on Notre Damegenerated the bulk of the scoring chances. One of the best Irish chancesof the night occurred as Hanks sent Henderson in with only thegoalkeeper to beat in the 16th minute, but Dare was able to charge outand get a leg on Henderson’s shot. Minnesota played an aggressive defense that closed quickly on the

Irish all night but also allowed Notre Dame to spring more and moreplayers with runs into the box. Hanks played Rose Augustin into the boxin the 25th minute, but the sophomore’s initial drive was cleared off theline by a Minnesota defender. The rebound caromed back to Augustin,who sent her second shot just high of the Golden Gopher net.Though the conditions were tough, Minnesota opted to try and break

down the Irish defense rather than sit back and try and keep Notre Dameoff the board. Minnesota’s attacking philosophy almost paid off with justover three minutes to play in the first half as midfielder Julie Rezac sentin a dangerous cross that Irish goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander charged offher line to corral and eliminate any further danger.In the 57th minute, Augustin took a long throw-in from the far

sideline, from which Weissenhofer was able to generate a corner kickattempt. Hanks took the ensuing corner, and senior Carrie Dew chargedin from the top of the box, only to see her header hit the cross bar at58:59. Dew had another header off of a Hanks corner glance just wideof the Gopher net at 64:16. Though their final touch was letting them down, they Irish continued

to search for what would probably amount to be the game winner giventhe time on the clock and the worsening conditions on the field. Withjust under 15 minutes to play in regulation, Courtney Rosen sentWeissenhofer in on a breakaway, but a charging Dare forcedWeissenhofer to rush her shot and put it wide of the goal. Then at 82:03Rosen tried her own luck as she blasted a shot from 25-yards out thatwent just over the cross bar. Hanks then netted the game-winning PK inovertime.

GAME #25 — Nov. 28, 2008NCAA Championship - Quarterfinals#1 Notre Dame 2, #6 Florida State 0Alumni Field (Notre Dame, Ind.)

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Kerri Hanks assisted on both Notre Damegoals and the sturdy Irish defense was rock solid against one of thenation’s most explosive offenses as top-ranked Notre Dame advanced tothe NCAA Women’s College Cup for the third consecutive season witha 2-0 victory over No. 6 Florida State on a clear and cold Friday nightbefore a boisterous crowd of 2,332 at Alumni Field.In addition to leading Notre Dame to its fourth College Cup berth in

five years and 10th in the past 15 years, Hanks marched into NCAADivision I women’s soccer history, as her two helpers gave her 83 careergoals and 73 career assists, making her the first D-I player ever to amass73G-73A in her career. Hanks’ first assist came at 18:10, as she drilled a corner kick from the

left flag into the box, where Jessica Schuveiller rose above the pack andwas able to drive home a header from short range for her first careergoal; becoming the 19th different Irish player to score a goal this seasonand extending the school record.Notre Dame then potted the all-important second goal at 76:06, and

again, Hanks was right in the thick of things. This time, she drove hardto the left endline before snapping a crisp service back into the six-yardbox that snuck through traffic. Taylor Knaack alertly crashed the net andwas able to pounce on the loose ball, depositing her fifth goal of the yearand fourth in the past eight games.Hanks’ assist on the Knaack score put her on top of yet another major

career statistical list, as it was her 20th career assist in the NCAAChampionship, passing former North Carolina standout Lindsay Tarpleyfor top honors in that category.Collectively, Notre Dame held a narrow 12-11 edge in shots against

Florida State, including a 5-3 margin in shots on goal (the Seminoles hadonly one shot on goal in the second half). The Irish also took six cornerkicks to FSU’s four, while Notre Dame was whistled for 13 of the 21fouls in the contest, and four yellow cards were evenly divided betweenthe clubs. Irish goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander made two saves and Carrie Dew

came up with a timely intervention of her own late in the second half tohelp the Irish preserve their 17th shutout of the season (and Lysander’sninth solo clean sheet this year). Seminole Goalkeeper Kate Milsteadmade three saves.

CARY, N.C. - Courtney Barg scored in the 15th minute and theNotre Dame defense did the rest, holding fast against a stern Stanfordonslaught as the top-ranked Irish booked their place in the NCAAnational championship game with a 1-0 victory over the No. 5 Cardinalin the NCAA Women’s College Cup semifinals on before a crowd of8,926 fans at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C.The sequence that perpetuated Barg’s decisive strike started as Rose

Augustin took a throw-in on the near sideline that found MelissaHenderson just outside of the Stanford box, eight yards from the endline.Henderson took three touches to work her way around a Stanforddefender before sliding the ball across the top of the box to Barg, whowas making a run into the center of the box. The onrushing Barggathered the pass and fired a low drive to Stanford goalkeeper KiraMaker’s right side to put the Irish up 1-0 (14:07).Notre Dame goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander had to make four saves in

the first half including one on Stanford’s Kelley O’Hara at 21:43. O’Haralatched onto the end of a long ball sent from the Stanford midfield tobreak in on Lysander, but the Irish goalkeeper was able to turn O’Hara’sshot aside with a sliding kick save. Minutes later, at 26:46, Lysander madea point-blank save to preserve the lead as Stanford’s Christen Press got aheader on net from five yards out after O’Hara played in a cross.The second half saw Stanford push for the equalizer, but the Notre

Dame back line held fast, and Lysander made three more saves to giveher a career-high seven on the afternoon. As time was winding down,Taylor Knaack did well to earn a corner kick in the far corner in frontof the spirited Irish faithful, effectively ending the game.Stanford wound up outshooting Notre Dame, 20-12, including a 7-4

margin in shots on goal. The Cardinal also took six corner kicks to threefor the Irish, but in the end, Notre Dame posted its eighth shutout innine games and fourth in a row.

GAME #27 — Dec. 7, 2008NCAA Championship - Finals

#4 North Carolina 2, #1 Notre Dame 1WakeMed Soccer Park (Cary, N.C.)

The Irish, who were playing in the College Cup final for the secondtime in the past three seasons and the seventh time in the programhistory, came close to earning their third national championship butNorth Carolina’s Casey Nogueira netted the game-winning goal at87:54. The Irish finished the year with a record of 26-1-0.Notre Dame got on the board faster than at any point in program

history when Kerri Hanks knocked home a Courtney Rosen cross at00:16. To score, the Irish kicked off and played the ball out wide to

Melissa Henderson on the near side, where she battled for possessionwith a UNC midfielder. Rosen picked up the ensuing loose ball andlofted a cross over the Tar Heel back line. As the ball floated in, Hanksmade a run to the near side of the box, picked up the ball in stride andchipped in a shot with the outside of her right foot that found the leftcorner of UNC goaltender Ashlyn Harris’ net.The Irish threatened again around four minutes in as Henderson

earned two consecutive corner kicks, but UNC held off the attack. Then,at 10:38, Hanks sent a through ball behind the UNC defense thatHenderson caught up with on the endline but she could not get a shotoff and her cross fell harmlessly in front of the UNC ’keeper.Though Notre Dame enjoyed possession and looked more threatening

in the first 15 minutes of play, the Tar Heels settled down and started tocreate a few chances of their own. At 14:35, UNC sent a corner kick intothe Notre Dame box that led to consecutive Tar Heel shots that wereblocked by the Notre Dame defense, with the second block going out ofbounds for another UNC corner kick. North Carolina’s JessicaMcDonald got on the end of the corner kick, only to head a shot justover the cross bar at 15:26. UNC looked to have numbers again as theybroke in on the Irish in the 23rd minute, but stalwart central defenderCarrie Dew defused the threat as she poked the ball away from a UNCattacker.In the 30th minute, UNC’s Brittani Bartok received a cross from the

far sideline and found herself with enough time to get a look at theNotre Dame goal, but goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander made one of her twosaves of the first half to maintain the Irish lead. After the restart, UNC earned a free kick from just outside the top of

Notre Dame’s 18-yard box. Casey Nogueira stepped up and unleashed ahard drive to the right side of the Notre Dame wall that found the backof the net (51:08).In the 70th minute, Notre Dame continued to put pressure on UNC

as Hanks took the ball down the far flank and played a cross in toKnaack. Knaack’s shot was blocked, but the rebound fell to Rosen at thetop of the box who flashed a first-touch drive just over the UNC bar.Next, UNC played a dangerous ball into the box at 72:32 that Leslie

Briggs was running onto, but Lysander jumped off her line to grab theball and end the threat.As the tension grew, UNC’s Courtney Jones had a chance in the 84th

minute in front of the Notre Dame goal that was blocked by JessicaSchuveiller and cleared by Dew. Then in the 85th minute Hanks flickeda header from midfield that Michele Weissenhofer nearly reached for abreakaway attempt but again the UNC defense held.At 87:54, a ball was played to Lysander’s right that Nogueira took

down and shot into the top right corner of the Irish net after taking adeflection off of an Irish defender. As time ran out, Rosen played one lastlong ball to the top of UNC’s 18-yard box that Hanks ran onto but thefour-time All-American could not get around the last UNC defender,who compleded a cracking tackle inside the box.After the contest, Courtney Barg, Kerri Hanks and Kelsey Lysander

The BIG EASTConferenceWith 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST

Conference continues on a path of success in and outof the athletic arena. The goals have always been thesame. The league wants and expects to compete at thehighest level and does so with integrity and sports-manship. The commendable performances of the stu-dent-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators ofthe league’s proud tradition of success.The BIG EAST has gone through membership

changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic yearwill mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-Aconference.In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again suc-

ceeded on the national stage. The Connecticutwomen’s basketball team won its sixth national cham-pionship by defeating conference foe Louisville in anall-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Damewomen’s soccer team reached the NCAA champi-onship game and the Syracuse field hockey squadadvanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EASTwomen’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 atthe NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourthfollowed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown inninth.Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s

Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at theNCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixthwinner of the Wade Trophy as the top player inwomen’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks wonthe Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova

advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball seasonin the history of the BIG EAST with the league settingNCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds,four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five inthe Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA

College Cup before losing in the national semifinals.BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile

and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of theleague’s eight squads were nationally ranked orreceived votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnatiwas the league champion. The BIG EAST, a chartermember of the Bowl Championship Series, has wonthree of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia,Louisville and Connecticut also have won or sharedleague crowns over the past four seasons.The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-

athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and aca-demic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST playerswere chosen to their respective ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes haveearned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division

I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new membersbegan competing. The new schools were: University ofCincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville,Marquette University and the University of SouthFlorida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s

top 34 largest media markets, including New York,Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa,Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With

its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almostone fourth of all television households in the U.S.Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won

26 national championships in six different sports and126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball

success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIGEAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams inmen’s and women’s basketball. It was only the secondtime in NCAA history that one conference placed thatmany Final Four teams in the same season.In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in

NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAAbasketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIGEAST became the first conference in NCAA history towin the men’s and women’s titles in the same yearwhen the Syracuse men and the Connecticut womencaptured their respective national championships. Inmen’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three ofthe last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’steams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.Proactive movement has been a signature strategy

for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIGEAST continually turns challenges into opportunitiesto become stronger.In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse

to its growing list of sports, which will increase its totalto 24 sport championships. The first women’s golfchampionship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’slacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979,

following a meeting of athletic directors fromProvidence College, St. John’s, Georgetown andSyracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut andBoston College completed the original seven schoolalliance. While the membership has both increased and

changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.The conference reflects a tradition of broad based pro-

grams, led by administrators and coaches who place aconstant emphasis on academic integrity. Its studentathletes own significantly high graduation rates andtheir record of scholastic achievement notably show abalance between intercollegiate athletics and academ-ics.Any successful organization has been fortunate to

have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, theleague’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years theassociate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in1990. In his first year, he administered the formationof The BIG EAST Football Conference.For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one sig-

nificant change. Tranghese stepped down from his posi-tion on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has servedas senior associate commissioner, has moved into theCommissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in

innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, partic-ularly regarding television. Those efforts have resultedin unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes.The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationshipswith CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sell-

outs at campus and major public arenas, including theannual men’s BIG EAST Championship in MadisonSquare Garden. The women’s basketball championshiphas led all conferences in attendance for the past sixyears. Attendance figures also are significant in soccerand baseball.More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have

earned all America recognition and dozens have wonindividual NCAA national championships. The BIGEAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreignnational and Olympic teams. Several athletes earnedgold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence

where the conference administers to more than 5,500athletes.

Nov. 7 – Notre Dame’s perfect record in BIGEAST title games (7-0) ends at Connecticut, as theHuskies score twice in the final 17 minutes to snatchaway the 2-1 win.

Theshootout sees little-used reserve Sarah Halpennyconvert on Notre Dame’s second try while JenBuczkowski and Annie Schefter also find the net –but the teams still are tied after five kicks, sending theshootout to sudden-death. Krivacek then calmlydeposits her low-right shot and Bohn guesses correctlyto the same spot, stopping Lindsay Greco’s try to giveNotre Dame the national title in thrilling fashion.

Thorlakson completes one of the most dominantall-around seasons in women’s soccer history (23G-24A) and is considered the favorite for the HermannTrophy – but inexplicably, she is not even among thethree finalists for the award. Soccer America doesrecognize Thorlakson as its 2004 national player of theyear (an honor earned by Makinen in 1998 and 2000).

2005Sept. 2 – Notre Dame lives up to its No. 1 ranking

The flurry ranks as the quickest three-goalstretch in the history of Division I women’s soccer.

FSU’s India Trotter halved the deficitjust after the break, but Karas stood tall the rest of theway with some big plays to preserve the win.

2007Sept. 28 – Sometimes the biggest moves start with

a small step, and that was the case with Notre Dame’s1-0 win at Louisville on Cinalli’s unassisted goal in the24th minute. The Irish had battled through a rockyopening month of the season, going 3-4-1 in their firsteight games (three losses by one goal, two in OT), butheld the Cardinals to only one shot on frame (aharmless long-distance try in the 85th minute) to getback to the .500 mark.

Oct. 21 – In a matchup of BIG EAST divisionalleaders, 15th-ranked Notre Dame continues its late-season resurgence with a 2-1 overtime win against No.13 UConn at Alumni Field.

1995 NationalChampions

116 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N O T R E D A M E ®

The 1995 Notre Dame women’s soccer seasonwas described by national coach of the year ChrisPetrucelli as a season that “ended the way we allhad dreamed about.” With wins over perennialpower North Carolina in the NCAA semifinals andPortland in the title game (both 1-0), Notre Damehad become just the third school ever to win anNCAA women’s soccer title (dating back to 1982).

The season’s dream began with Notre Dameputting the opposition to sleep, as the Irishoutscored their opponents 36-0 on their way to an8-0 record. The women’s soccer squad participatedin the first BIG EAST competition for any NotreDame team, defeating Providence in the opener –followed by a win over St. John’s and three shutoutsof Big Ten foes Indiana, No. 13 Wisconsin and No.19 Michigan State.

Notre Dame moved to 6-0 with a 1-0 win overNo. 3 Stanford (on a rare goal by sophomore mid-fielder Holly Manthei, who went on to become theNCAA all-time assist leader), followed by BIGEAST wins over Rutgers and Seton Hall thatpushed the season shot advantage to 192-24.

Sophomore midfielder Julie Maund’s goal at the88:17 mark averted a loss at Cincinnati (the gameended in a 2-2 tie) while an 82nd-minute goal fromsenior forward Rosella Guerrero set up an overtimegamewinner for junior midfielder Cindy Daws, in a2-1 game with Ohio State.

A 2-2-2 stretch continued in the BIG EASTshowdown with Connecticut, as freshman forwardMonica Gerardo’s goal in the 82nd minute forcedovertime (3-3) – with the Huskies winning 5-4under the old “non-sudden-death” format. The losswas Notre Dame’s first at home since Oct. 4, 1992,and ended a 29-game conference winning streakfor the Irish.

Playing on its home field in the semifinals, UNCcarried a 10-year, 31-game NCAA tournament winstreak into its game vs. Notre Dame.

The Irish came out sharp and loose, pressuringfrom the start. That pressure led to the only goal, inthe 20th minute, when UNC’s Cindy Parlowheaded a cross out of the goal area. Daws thenheaded it back toward the goal and Parlow’sattempt to redirect the ball sent it into her own netfor the 1-0 score.

A stunned crowd of 7,212, at that time thelargest ever to attend a collegiate women’s soccergame, watched as the Irish defense shut down thepotent Tar Heel offense.

Returning to the title game, Notre Dameencountered 125 scoreless minutes before Dawssurprised Portland goalkeeper Erin Fahey, after sen-ior forward Michelle McCarthy had been fouledoutside the top of the box. Daws quickly sent thedirect kick into the back of the net – ending theexhausting game and completing Notre Dame’sdreamlike run to the 1995 national title.

“The thing that came out of this season was thatwe found out how much character our team reallyhad,” said Petrucelli. “Instead of packing it in, wefought back.”

Another Gerardo goal produced a 1-0 win overNo. 7 Santa Clara, with the grueling six-gamestretch concluding in Houston against No. 11 Duke(2-2) and No. 1 North Carolina (0-2). Yet anotherlate goal (by junior forward Amy VanLaecke, at89:26) saved the day versus Duke.

“At that point, we had lost our focus on defend-ing,” said Petrucelli. “We got so carried away in try-ing to score goals that we forgot there was anotherpart of the game. We needed to put a lot of workinto our team defense.”

After the loss to UNC, the Irish defense – led byjunior goalkeeper Jen Renola – yielded just threegoals in the final 11 games, including shutouts in allsix postseason games.

The next big test for the refocused Irish was arematch against Connecticut in the BIG EAST titlegame, with the newcomer Notre Dame blankingthe reigning BIG EAST power 1-0 (on an earlyVanLaecke goal).

“The win over UConn helped our confidenceand made us believe,” said Petrucelli. “We were ableto refocus and commit to everything needed towin. We had talked about winning, but we were notdoing everything that it took.”

The Irish defense continued its postseasonshutout streak, led by Renola and the startingdefender formation of sophomore Kate Sobrero,junior Kate Fisher and senior Ashley Scharff.

The Irish were seeded No. 4 in the NCAA tour-nament, using four first-half goals and a hat trickfrom freshman midfielder Shannon Boxx for a 5-0win over Wisconsin in the second round. NotreDame then knocked off UConn in the third round(2-0), with goals from senior defender Julie Vogeland VanLaecke.

A four-month quest for the 2004 national title sawthe Notre Dame women's soccer team navigate its waythrough the season with a nearly perfect record. Theodyssey began Aug. 10, with an eight-day training tripin the soccer-crazed nation of Brazil. On the final nightof the team's stay, head coach Randy Waldrum reflectedon the trip.

"I don't think they want to leave," said Waldrum onthat final night at the Vitoria Hotel, a dorm-likeatmosphere for the Irish players.

"I already can tell this is a group who truly enjoysbeing together," predicted the veteran of 22 previousseasons as a college coach. "They want to achieve greatsuccess for one another. That’s a great starting point forany team."

Fast forward to Cary, N.C – 117 days after thedeparture for Brazil – as Notre Dame faced UCLA in theNCAA final. It marked the end of a season filled withindividual feats and team domination, as the Irish made astrong case for being the nation's top all-around program.

Notre Dame, the second D-I women’s soccer teamto win multiple titles, spent six weeks as the No. 1-ranked team and finished with a team-record victorytotal (25-1-1) that had been bested by just three teamsin NCAA history.

Three All-Americans – fifth-year central defenderMelissa Tancredi, junior forward Katie Thorlakson andsophomore midfielder Jen Buczkowski – led a talentedstarting 11 that included another first team all-BIGEAST player (Freshman All-America forward AmandaCinalli) and three named third team all-BIG EAST:senior forward Candace Chapman, sophomoremidfielder Jill Krivacek and sophomore left backChristie Shaner.

Junior midfielder Annie Schefter helped indominating the possession while the stout back linealso included senior central defender GudrunGunnarsdottir and sophomore right back KimLorenzen. Junior goalkeeper Erika Bohn – whojoined Schefter as 2004 Academic All-Americans –rarely was tested but she stopped three total PKs inthe title game.

The eventual national champs rose above injuriesto Randi Scheller, Mary Boland and Susan Pinnick

Bohn needed to make just five saves in the first fiveNCAA games but she stopped six shots in the titlegame, with the only UCLA score coming on an own-goal early in the second half. Thorlakson tied the gameon a 73rd-minute PK and Bohn then saved a PK late inregulation. The first five shootout rounds saw UCLAmiss twice (one saved by Bohn) while little-used seniorSarah Halpenny preceded Buczkowski and Schefter inmaking their shots. Krivacek then converted in sudden-death PKs, Bohn dove to her left for yet another save –and the Irish were the 2004 national champions.

(among others) that totaled 109 games – plus theabsence of another top offensive player, Kerri Hanks(Under-19 World Championship). Boland was lost earlywith a broken leg but Thorlakson responded with anhistoric season (23 goals-24 assists) while Chapman(12G) also picked up the slack after shifting from rightback to forward. Cinalli added 10 goals, as the first Irishfreshman with double-digit goals since 2000.

Notre Dame’s pressing style led to the Irish totalingnearly as many goals (70) as opponent shots on goal(71) while allowing just 1.8 corner kicks/gm. The Irishled the nation in shutouts (16) and ranked fifth in goals-against avg. (0.51).

Thorlakson and Tancredi were among the final- 15candidates for the Hermann Trophy and stood out asthe nation’s most dominant players at their positions.Thorlakson earned several player-of-the year honors ina season that included: 3G-2A in the first half of theopener vs. Baylor; 3G-2A in the second half of the 5-2win over #4 Santa Clara (ND record for points vs. top-25 team); an 11-game point streak to end the season;ND records for points in a game (4G-2A, vs. St. John’s)and in one postseason (27); 70 total points (two shy ofthe ND record); and scoring/assisting on 24 of the final28 goals. Former UNC great Mia Hamm remains theonly player ever to total more goals and more assists ina season than Thorlakson.

Early highlights included Schefter’s 82nd-minute PKto beat Stanford (1-0) and a 2-1 win at Arizona State,as the Irish overcame an early deficit and 100-degreeheat. Cinalli’s 84th-minute goal later produced a 1-0win at UConn and the Irish pulled away at WestVirginia (3-1) – before Buczkowski scored in the finalminute at Georgetown (2-1) and volleyed in a crossfrom Ashley Jones to beat Boston College (1-0).

Krivacek headed in a Thorlakson corner kick todefeat Wisconsin in the final regulation minute of thatNCAA second-round game (1-0), followed by a 2-0win over UConn and the 3-1 quarterfinal with Portland(two goals by Cinalli, one by Thorlakson). Thorlaksonand Chapman then worked a classic give-and-go in the73rd minute, as the Irish edged Santa Clara in thesemifinals (1-0).

The success and impact of the Notre Dame women’s soccer program has not been limited to the collegiate level. Notre Dame had a presence at the past three FIFAWomen’s World Cups, particularly in the 1999 World Cup won by the homestanding United States. Former three-time All-American Kate (Sobrero) Markgraf played akey role in helping the U.S. claim its second World Cup in ’99, as a starting defender and one of the youngest players on the roster. Sobrero started five of six games,missing only the North Korea game when she rested a sore ankle after the U.S. already had clinched the top spot in its pool.

Former high-scoring Notre Dame forward Monica Gerardo and 2002 graduate Monica Gonzalez (a former forward who converted to a defender role) representedMexico in that country’s first appearance in the World Cup in ’99. The Irish pair both started Mexico’s first World Cup game against Brazil, while Gerardo – who wrappedup her career at Notre Dame following the 1998 season – also started against Italy. Four-time All-America midfielder Holly Manthei’s earlier appearance with the U.S.national team in the 1995 World Cup in Stockholm, Sweden, marked the first World Cup duty for a Notre Dame women’s soccer player. The second-youngest player onthe team following her freshman season at Notre Dame in 1995, Manthei played in two games for the third-place Americans, including a reserve stint in a 3-3 tie withChina and a start in the 4-1 win over Australia. Sobrero and former Notre Dame defensive midfielder Shannon Boxx played for the U.S. third-place team at the 2003World Cup (also played in the U.S.), with Boxx selected to the prestigious All-World Cup team. Recent Notre Dame standout Candace Chapman was set to start forCanada at flank midfielder but had to miss the 2003 World Cup due to injury.

The Notre Dame women’s soccer program once again was well-represented on multiple national teams at the 2007 World Cup in China. Boxx (recovering from an’06 knee injury) and Sobrero (’07 pregnancy) were not at 100 percent entering the tournament, but both started every match except the group-play win over Sweden(Boxx was a halftime substitute) and the third-place win over Norway (neither played), with Boxx scoring in a 3-0 quarterfinal win over England. Chapman, along withfellow former Notre Dame standouts Melissa Tancredi (2000-04) and Katie Thorlakson (2002-05) nearly helped Canada get out of group play, but an injury-time goalby Australia in the final group-play game gave it a 2-2 draw and a pass to the quarterfinals. Chapman scored Canada’s first goal of the tournament (in a 2-1 loss to Norway),while Tancredi scored 37 seconds into the Australia contest, the second-fastest goal in tournament history.

Kate Sobrero (top left and middle) played a key role on defense to help the United States win the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup and was joined by her former Notre Dameteammate Shannon Boxx (top right) as a starter on the 2003 U.S. World Cup team. Holly Manthei (bottom right) became the first Notre Dame women’s soccer player to play inthe World Cup after her appearance in the 1995 World Cup. Monica Gonzalez (bottom middle) and Monica Gerardo (bottom left) both played for Mexico in the 1999 WorldCup while three other former Notre Dame standouts – Candace Chapman, Melissa Tancredi and Katie Thorlakson – competed in the 2007 World Cup with Canada. Boxx andSobrero, who now plays under her married name of Kate Markgraf, likewise were among the top players for the U.S. as they finished third at the 2007 WWC.

Ten former Notre Dame women’s soccer players — the second-most from any NCAADivision I program — competed in the inaugural season of the seven-team Women’s ProfessionalSoccer (WPS) in 2008, while another (Kate Markgraf) was on maternity leave. In addition, 2001Notre Dame graduate Kelly Lindsey began the ’08 WPS season as an assistant coach with SkyBlue FC (based in New Jersey) before being elevated to the interim head coaching position justprior to the midway point of the campaign.

Former Irish players Brittany Bock and Shannon Boxx helped lead the Los Angeles Sol tothe league’s regular-season title and a berth in the WPS Championship Game at their own HomeDepot Center in Carson, Calif. Christie Shaner began her WPS season with Sky Blue FC, butwas traded to Los Angeles at mid-season and started her first game with the Sol before beingsidelined for the year with a leg injury.

Notre Dame had four players from its dominating 2008 NCAA national runner-up squadselected among the top 21 picks in the inaugural WPS Draft in January 2009. Bock was the first to be taken, goingin the first round (fifth overall) to Los Angeles, one spot ahead of her Irish teammate and two-time HermannTrophy recipient Kerri Hanks, who was chosen by Saint Louis Athletica (and later traded at midseason to SkyBlue FC). Carrie Dew was taken early in the second round (12th overall) by FC Gold Pride, which is based inthe San Francisco Bay Area. Elise Weber rounded out the highly-drafted ’08 quartet with her third-round selec-tion (21st overall) by Saint Louis Athletica.

In the Gateway City, she was joined by Notre Dame alums Amanda Cinalli and Melissa Tancredi, while Hanksand Lindsey paired up with former Irish All-American Jen Buczkowski at Sky Blue FC. Candace Chapman com-pleted Notre Dame’s inaugural WPS contigent, playing for the Boston Breakers.

Five different Notre Dame women’s soccer players – midfielder Cindy Daws (1996), goalkeeper Jen Renola(1996), midfielder Anne Makinen (1998 and 2000) and forwards Katie Thorlakson (2004) and Kerri Hanks(2006 and 2008) – each have received a major national player-of-the-year honor during the past 13 seasons (1996-2008). Most notably, Notre Dame is one of only two women’s soccer programs ever to produce four or more dif-ferent recipients of the prestigious M.A.C./Hermann Trophy (Daws, Makinen and Hanks twice).

NCAA Today’s Top VIII AwardThe Today's Top VIII Award is presented annually by theNCAA to honor eight outstanding senior student-athletes(from all divisions). Selection criteria include: athleticsability and achievement; academic achievement; and char-acter, leadership and extracurricular activities.

The past 17 seasons of Notre Dame women’s soccer (1992-2008) have produced a rich tradition of elite play-ers, led by 20 who have combined for 45 All-America seasons:

• Only 23 players in the 27-year history of Division I women’s soccer who have been NSCAA four-year All-Americans and four are Notre Dame players: midfielders Holly Manthei (1994--97) and Anne Makinen (1997-2000), defender Jen Grubb (1996-99) and forward Kerri Hanks (2005-08). This quartet also represents the onlyfour ND players to be NSCAA All-Americans as freshmen and sophomores.

• Four others – midfielder Cindy Daws (’93, ’94, ’96), goalkeeper Jen Renola (’94-’96), defender Kate Sobrero(’95-’97) and midfielder Jen Buczkowski (’04-’06) – have been three-time All-Americans while five have beenNSCAA All-Americans twice: midfielder/forward Jenny Streiffer (’96, ’99), defenders Candace Chapman (’02,’05) and Melissa Tancredi (’03-’04), forward Katie Thorlakson (’04-’05) and midfielder/forward Brittany Bock(’07-’08).

• Renola (’96), defender Monica Gonzalez (’02) and Bock (’07) are part of an exclusive group of 51 stu-dent-athletes in ND history to earn All-America and Academic All-America honors in the same season – Renolaand Bock also are two of just 12 ND student-athletes to do it twice (Streiffer received both honors but never inthe same season; Academic All-American in ’97, ’98).

• Daws (3), Hanks (3) and Renola (2) are Notre Dame’s only multiple first team NSCAA All-Americans, withDaws also remaining the only ND freshman ever to be a first team NSCAA All-American.

• Notre Dame players have been named NSCAA All-Americans every year since 1992, including 13 years withmultiple All-Americans (two-plus every year since 2003, with a total of 16 from 2003-08). There have been eightNotre Dame seasons with three-plus NSCAA All-Americans (led by six in 1996).

• The positions of forward, midfielder and defender each have produced at least five different Irish NSCAAAll-Americans (not counting Streiffer and Bock, who were All-America midfielders/forwards).

Marathon MomentNotre Dame entered its 1999 NCAA quar-

terfinal at 4th-ranked Nebraska expecting atight game. The Irish had trailed Nebraska inthe second half of the 1998 NCAA third roundat Alumni Field before scoring twice for thewin – and their meeting in the 1997 secondround was closer than the 6-0 final. But onNov. 28, 1999, nobody expected a four-over-time game that lasted 150 minutes and ended ina 1-1 tie. Jenny Streiffer scored 90 seconds intothe game but Karina LeBlanc kept the Irish outof the net for the next 148:30. Nebraska tiedthe game in the 18th minute and the marathonwas set, as LeBlanc and LaKeysia Beene did notyield any more scoring to set up the shootout.Streiffer converted into the lower left corner

while Beene dove low and to her left to saveKelly Rheem’s try in the first round of thepenalty kicks. Both teams converted in round-2(Jenny Heft upper left, Meghan Anderson lowerright) while both round-3 kicks grazed theposts – as the shot by Notre Dame’s AnneMakinen missed off the left post whileChristine Latham’s skimmed off the same postand went into the net.The shootout was tied (2-2) entering round-

4 when LeBlanc dove to her right and savedMonica Gonzalez’s low shot. The Huskers hada chance to win by converting their final twoattempts – but Sharlota Nonen’s try sailed overthe crossbar. Both teams found the net inround-5 (Jen Grubbupper right, JennyBenson lower right),forcing an extra round.Omaha native KellyLindsey – a defenderwith no points all sea-son – gave the Irish a4-3 lead (lower right)and Beene reached leftto save Amy Walsh’sattempt, extending theNotre Dame run thatwould reach all theway to the NCAAfinal.

WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)You are, if:

you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.•

you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization • promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.)

you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any • benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport.•

you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of • Notre Dame.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).

CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETEA student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a

varsity athletics team.NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those student-

athletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship.

*Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.

DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)DOYou may:

contact a current student-athlete regarding employment • opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office.

DON’TYou may not:

provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends • any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office. pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of • transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends.entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: • NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.)use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete • to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office.provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a • student-athlete to return home or to any other location.provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All • awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations. provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking • engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office.allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your • telephone to make free calls.

Our Compliance Office staff stands prepared to assist you with your

questions and concerns regarding NCAA regulations. Please contact us immediately should you have concern regarding any situation.

provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a student-• athlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETEA prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes

for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes.

* Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.

THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE:(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)

DOforward • information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff.have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible pre-• enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent. have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect • initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided • you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. • Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.

DON’TYou may not:

write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her • parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame.become involved in making arrangements to provide money, • financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends.make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her • parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit.contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National • Letter of Intent to attend the University.transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for • a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for • a prospect.provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends • without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated. We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University.

To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics. Please remember to ask before you act!

HistoryThe University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

AcademicsThe University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek.

Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of “dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

StudentsGraduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its undergraduate alumni - a record compiled over some 85 years.

ServiceCommunity service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

AlumniThe University’s network of 270 alumni clubs -- including 60 international clubs -- is the most extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the top five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and an Emmy Award for contributions to television technology.
