COACHING STAFFCOACHING STAFF

Eric Seremet is now entering his fourth season as the head coach for the Air Force lacrosse program. Following the retirement of the legendary Fred Acee in 2008, Seremet, a seven-year assistant

for the Falcons, took over the reins as the interim head coach during the 2009 campaign.

Last season, Seremet helped lead a young Air Force squad to a 6-7 overall record, which included a win over 17th-ranked Loyola. Aft er a slow start, the Falcons won fi ve of their last six games to reach six victories for just the third time in 14 seasons and the second time in the last three years. With a 3-3 ledger in the ECAC, Air Force tied for third place in the seven-team league.

In his fi rst season leading Air Force, Seremet guided the Falcons to a 7-7 overall ledger, including a 4-1 record in the Great Western Lacrosse League and a second-place conference fi nish. Air Force’s seven wins were the most since 2006 and more than in the previous two seasons combined, while the team fi nished at .500 for the fi rst time since 1997. In addition, the Falcons’ four league wins were a school-record, while their second-place league fi nish matched a program-best (set previously in 1995). A late-season surge by Air Force in 2009 saw the Falcons win four-straight contests, including their fi rst win over Ohio State since 1997, to earn their fi rst-ever bid to the GWLL Championship tournament. Over the course of the year, Air Force averaged nine goals per game, its highest off ensive output since 1997, while allowing just 8.93 goals per contest.

Th e highlight of the 2010 season came on March 13, as Air Force defeated Army, 8-7, in over-time. It marked the fi rst-ever win for the Falcons over the rival Black Knights in Army’s fi rst trip to the Academy.

As the top assistant for the Falcons from 2002-2008, Seremet worked primarily with the off ense, while assisting with recruiting and scouting. Since his arrival at the Academy, Air Force has seen improvement in total goals scored and goals per game. In 2005, the Falcons registered a 41 per-cent increase in scoring output compared to Seremet’s fi rst season at the Academy. Similarly, the Falcons’ extra-man off ense has twice ranked in the top 20 nationally with a 37 percent success rate in 2003 and 40 percent in 2005 (14th and ninth, respectively).

Before arriving at the Academy, Seremet, a native of Camillus, N.Y., and 1988 graduate of West Genesee High School, spent a year as an assistant coach at Cornell University. Th ere he helped the Big Red maintain a top-20 ranking throughout the 2001 season. Prior to his stint at Cornell, Seremet was the top assistant for four years at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. While at Stony Brook, Seremet had his hand in all aspects of the program, coaching both ends of the fi eld. In 1998, he coached the top goaltender in Division I in save percentage, while the defense ranked third in goals against. Seremet also served as a graduate assistant coach at Dart-mouth College during the 1993 season.

Seremet attended the University of North Carolina, where he was a four-year letterwinner for the lacrosse team. During his career, the Tar Heels won four ACC titles and advanced to the NCAA Final Four each season. Seremet was also a starter on North Carolina’s 1991 national championship team, which fi nished the season with a perfect 16-0 record. He graduated from North Carolina in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial relations.

In addition to his collegiate experience as both a player and a coach, Seremet also brings eight years of professional playing experience to the table. Seremet began his professional career in 1993 with the Boston Blazers of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League. He competed in the National Lacrosse League for seven seasons, playing for the New York Saints from 1995-1999, earning team MVP honors in 1996. Seremet was also a member of the Syracuse Smash from 1999-2000 and the Colorado Mammoth in 2003.

Seremet wed the former Sonia Skiba in August 2008. Th e couple resides in Colorado Springs with their two daughters.

2012 OUTLOOK2012 OUTLOOK

Aft er an impressive turnaround in 2011, the Air Force lacrosse team will look to make even bigger strides in 2012. Th e Falcons, who won fi ve of their last seven games a year ago, takes the fi eld this season with 27 returning letterwinners and six of 10 starters from last year.

Among the veterans returning this year are senior captains Dayton Gilbreath and Adam Paranka. Gilbreath, one of the top defenders in the league, is a three-time all-conference selection on defense and was once again named to the preseason All-ECAC team. Mean-while, Paranka enters the year as the Falcons’ active leader in career goals, points and assists.

Th e sophomore class features four players who were regular starters as freshmen, in-cluding Erik Smith, the leading returning point scorer for the Falcons. In his rookie campaign, Smith registered 29 points (including a team-best 16 assists), while also lead-ing the team in face-off s and picking up a team-best 64 ground balls. Classmates Mike Crampton and Kyle Cassady also return to help the lead the Falcons’ off ense. Cramp-ton, whose 16 goals in 2011 are the most among Air Force returners this year, scored 24 points last season, while Cassady added 16 points in 2011. Meanwhile, Matt Puleoreturns on the defensive end, aft er starting every game in his freshman year.

Th is season, the Falcons will again look to the strength of its freshman class, with 16 newcomers joining the team. More than two-thirds of this year’s squad is comprised of underclassmen, and Air Force will look to the strength of its talented youth to build a strong program for this season and the years to come.

ATTACKWhile the Falcons lose their top scorer from the 2011 season, all-conference honoree Vinny Sandtorv, Air Force does return a pair of starters on the attack in Paranka and Crampton. Paranka, who has been dealing with injury in the off -season, fi nished the 2011 season with 12 points (6g, 6a) and currently has 50 points in his career. Meanwhile,

Crampton started all 13 games in his rookie campaign and fi nished second on the team with 16 goals. With the departure of Sandtorv, Crampton will be expected to play an even more signifi cant role in the Falcons’ off ense.

Expected to join Crampton in the starting lineup this season are classmate Tommy McKee and newcomer Keith Dreyer (Malvern, Pa.). McKee had a strong rookie campaign, starting in fi ve games and recording 13 goals (tied for third-most on the team). Th is season, he will need to become a more consistent off ensive threat for the Falcons. Meanwhile, Dreyer has the talent to make an immediate impact on the off ensive end.

Junior Pat Harrison, who scored four points in eight games last season, should be an improved off ensive weapon for the Falcons this year, while fresh-man Ryland De Pol, a native of Chester, Md., is expected to see signifi cant playing time, particularly with the Falcons’ man-up unit. Also adding depth to the off ensive group will be junior Conor Hogan, sophomore Matt Scott and freshmen Alex Kober, Nick Phillips and Richie Sapp.

MIDFIELDAgain, Air Force brings great depth at the midfi eld posi-tion, with returning starters Smith and Cassady lead-ing the way. Smith had an outstanding rookie campaign, fi nishing second on the team with 29 points, while also making an impact at the face-off X. Smith was honored for his performance by being named one of the top fresh-men in the nation by Inside Lacrosse. While an improved off ensive unit should take some of the scoring burden off of Smith, he will still be expected to play a key role for the Falcons. Meanwhile, Cassady is another sophomore who had a strong freshman season, registering 16 points (10g, 6a) on the year.

Senior John DeBonis, along with sophomore Taylor Han-ley, return to lead the Falcons at the defensive midfi eld position, while sophomores Michael Curran and Marcus Walker will look for expanded roles this year. Among the newcomers expected to make an impact for the Falcons are Tom Burgess, a native of Watertown, N.Y., and Nate Hruby, from Coppell, Texas, as well as sophomore Bryan Price, who will assist Smith on face-off s.

2012 OUTLOOK2012 OUTLOOK

Also adding depth to the midfi eld corps are seniors Joe Boyle and Matthew Selby, junior Alex Kauth, sopho-mores Kevin Dolan, Adam Hachtel, Scott Hewitson, Dylan Leary and Franklin Martin and freshmen James Burke, Parker Jackson and Warren Kuhn.

DEFENSETh e Falcons also return a pair of starters on defense in Gilbreath and Puleo. Gilbreath has proven himself throughout his career to be Air Force’s toughest defender, assigned to cover each opponent’s top off ensive weapon. Entering his fourth season as a starter, Gilbreath record-ed 30 ground balls in 2011, while fi nishing second on the team in caused turnovers with 14.

Meanwhile, Puleo made an immediate impact on the de-fensive end of the fi eld as a freshman, leading the team in caused turnovers with 15. Th is year, the fi nal starting spot is expected to be fi lled by newcomer Davis Gunter (Littleton, Colo.), while Denver native Kyle O’Brien will be Air Force’s top long-stick midfi elder as a freshman.

Other players who should see signifi cant playing time on the defensive end include junior Kyle Nazarek, sophomore Tom Harris and freshman A.J. White, while adding depth to the Falcons’ defensive unit are senior tri-captain John Krzyminski, juniors Dan Schonfeld and Zach Tulley, sophomore Erik Lenke and freshman Jacob Kazar, Tommy Spiotta and Tim Voss.

GOALKEEPERSTh e goalkeeper position is the biggest question mark for the Falcons this season, as they look to fi ll the spot following the graduation of 2011 starter Brian Wilson. As the season begins, the frontrunner for the job is junior Austin Fox. Aft er seeing limited action in his fi rst two seasons, Fox put together a solid fall and will be expected to step up this year.

Meanwhile, senior Matt Sanders will provide Air Force with a capable back-up in goal. Th ough Sanders missed the entire 2011 season due to injury, he played well in 2010, seeing action in six games, starting three. Th at year, he led the team with a 9.42 GAA and .535 save percentage, and has proven that he can make crucial stops when needed.

THE SCHEDULEFor the second-straight year, the Falcons will begin their season with a neutral-site contest at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. Th is year, Air Force will take on Rutgers on Feb. 19 to get the 2012 season started. Th e Falcons will then head to the annual DU Face-Off Classic, hosted by Denver, Feb. 25-26.

2011 SEASON REVIEW2011 SEASON REVIEW

Th e Air Force lacrosse team made an impressive turnaround in 2011, posting a 6-7 overall record on the season aft er winning just one game a year before. In addi-tion, the Falcons tied for third in the seven-team ECAC Lacrosse League, notching a 3-3 conference ledger, including a win over 17th-ranked Loyola. Th e Falcons won fi ve of their last seven games to reach six victories for just the third time in the last 14 years, and the second time in the last three years. Senior Vinny Sandtorv and junior Dayton Gilbreath were named second-team All-ECAC selections, while midfi elder Erik Smith, recognized as one of the top freshmen in the nation by Inside Lacrosse, led a talented and deep freshman class. Air Force’s young team, which featured 25 newcomers on its 47-man roster, opened its 2011 season on Feb. 20 with a neutral site contest versus Siena. Playing at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., the Falcons dropped an 11-6 decision to the Saints. Trailing by three goals at the half, Air Force made a third-period run, tallying four straight scores to tie the game at 5-5. However, the Saints outscored the Falcons, 6-1, down the stretch to earn the fi ve-goal victory. Sandtorv scored a pair of man-up goals to lead the Falcons, while freshmen Kyle Cassady, Mike Crampton and Smith each tallied their fi rst career scores during the Falcons’ third-period run. Air Force, which played all of its games at Falcon Stadium in 2011, opened its home slate against Vermont on Feb. 25. On a cold, foggy Friday evening at the Acad-emy, the Falcons managed to take a 3-1 fi rst period lead, but suff ered a 40-minute scoreless drought, which proved to be their downfall. Air Force trailed 8-3 early in the fi nal stanza before a score by Crampton with just over 10 minutes to play ignited an Air Force rally. Th e Falcons were able to cut their margin to 8-6, but could not fi nd the back of the net again, while the Catamounts tacked on a fi nal goal with just 22 seconds remaining to take the 9-6 victory. Smith and junior Adam Paranka were the leading scorers for the Falcons, each scoring two goals and an assist. Next for the Falcons was a trip up I-25 for Denver’s annual Pioneer Face-Off Classic, held March 5-6. In its fi rst game of the weekend, Air Force received six goals from freshman Tommy McKee to defeat Manhattan, 16-10. Leading 7-5 at the half, the Falcons closed out the third quarter with a 6-0 run to take a 13-6 advantage into the fi nal stanza. While the Jaspers outscored Air Force, 4-3, in the fi nal period, it was not enough to overcome their early defi cit, as the Falcons earned their fi rst win of the season. McKee, who had not scored a point in either of the Falcons’ fi rst two games, scored his six goals on just seven shots. Also against the Jaspers, Smith fi nished with fi ve points (1g, 4a), while winning 13-of-17 face-off s and scooping up a team-best nine ground balls. Crampton added four points (3g, 1a), while senior Zack Carroll (3g) and Sandtorv (2g, 1a) fi nished with three points each. Air Force’s victory over Manhattan was signifi cant as the Falcons’ snapped a 12-game losing streak, dating back almost a year. Prior to the win over the Jaspers, Air Force’s previous win was on March 13, when the Falcons defeated Army, 8-7, in overtime at the Academy. In its second game of the weekend, Air Force took on Jacksonville for the fi rst-ever meeting between the two teams. Sandtorv scored a then-season-high four points to lead the Falcons, but Air Force never led in a 10-7 loss. Sandtorv fi nished the game with three goals and an assist, while Carroll added two assists to his third-period goal. Meanwhile, senior goalkeeper Brian Wilson had a solid performance between the pipes against the Dolphins, registering a career-best 15 saves. At the conclusion of the weekend, the Pioneer Face-Off Classic all-tournament team was announced. McKee earned a spot on the all-tourney team aft er scoring six goals in Air Force’s 16-10 win over Manhattan while Smith was also honored, with two goals, four assists, 14 groundballs and a .633 face-off win percentage for the weekend. Following his performance at the Pioneer Face-Off Classic, Smith was named the ECAC Co-Rookie of the Week. It marked the fi rst-ever weekly ECAC honor for an Air Force player. Th e Falcons were back on the road for their next contest, as they opened their 2011 ECAC slate against Fairfi eld on March 11. In another close contest, Air Force was hurt by a long scoring drought, as it dropped a 6-4 decision to Fairfi eld. Aft er leading 2-1 at the half, the Falcons took a 4-2 lead with 7:27 remaining in the third period. However, the Stags cut into the margin with a goal less than two minutes later. In the fi nal stanza, Fairfi eld scored three goals while keeping Air Force off the board to earn the two-goal victory. Sandtorv tallied a pair of goals for the Falcons, while Crampton and freshman Jacob Podolnick notched the other two Air Force scores. Air Force had a quick turnaround before its next game, visiting fourth-ranked Hofstra on March 13. Unfortunately, the Falcons could not get past the undefeated Pride, dropping an 11-6 decision. Carroll (2g), Sandtorv (1g, 1a) and Paranka (1g, 1a) each scored two points to lead the Falcons against Hofstra. Following four straight games away from home, Air Force returned to Falcon Stadium on March 19 to take on 17th-ranked Loyola in an ECAC contest. Air Force got out to a strong start against the Greyhounds, taking a 3-0 advantage in the fi rst quarter with goals from Paranka, Sandtorv and Crampton before Loyola was able to

get on the board with just under two minutes remaining in the period. Th e Falcons extended their lead in the second period, scoring three more un-answered goals, including two more from Sandtorv. However, Loyola found the back of the net with just 19 seconds remaining in the half to cut the margin to 6-2 at the break. A score by the Greyhounds’ Matt Langan early in the third period brought Loyola back within three goals, but Crampton tallied the next two goals to give Air Force an 8-3 advantage with 8:43 left in the third quarter. While another third-period goal by Loyola brought the score to 8-4, strong defense by the Falcons kept the margin at four goals for most of the fi nal stanza. Air Force was able to kill a two-minute penalty in the period, despite being down two men for a minute. However, the big play of the quarter came from Loyola goalkeeper Jake Hagelin, who tallied a man-down goal with 4:44 remaining. Loyola was able to score once more in the period, tallying a goal with 2:31 remaining, but the Falcons were able to prevent the Greyhounds from getting any closer than two goals, holding on for their second win of the season. Despite outshooting the Falcons 32-23 for the game, including 12-3 in the fi -nal period, the Greyhounds had a diffi cult time fi nding the back of the net. Wilson notched 10 saves in the contest for Air Force, while Dayton Gilbreath held Loyola’s Mike Sawyer, the leading goal scorer in the ECAC, without a goal. Crampton led the Falcons with three goals and an assist, while Sandtorv added three goals and Paranka registered a goal and an assist. Also scoring for Air Force was McKee with a goal, while Curran and senior long-stick midfi elder Bryan Gil-breath each added an assist. Th e Falcons’ win over Loyola marked their fi rst ECAC victory since joining the league in 2010. It was also Air Force’s fi rst-ever win against Loyola and its fi rst win over a ranked team since defeating ninth-ranked Notre Dame in 2006. For his performance against Loyola, Crampton was named the ECAC Rookie of the Week, as well as the Air Force Co-Athlete of the Week. Crampton’s four points against the Greyhounds helped lead Air Force to an 8-6 upset victory. He scored the Falcons’ only two goals of the second half, including what proved to be the game-winner with just under fi ve minutes remaining in the third period. Following its historic win against Loyola, Air Force was back on the road once more, facing its third-straight ranked opponent on March 26. Th is time, it was a trip to in-state conference rival Denver, which was rated 15th in the nation at the time. Despite a slow start, the Pioneers took a 4-0 advantage in the fi rst fi ve minutes of the second period and still led 4-1 at intermission, with Smith scoring the Falcons’ only goal of the opening half. Aft er the break, Denver registered fi ve straight goals in the fi rst seven minutes of action to pull away from the Falcons. Cassady had a team-best two goals, while Carroll and Smith both notched two points, fi nishing with a goal and an assist. Aft er the Falcons’ setback at Denver, the team was back on the road on April 2 for a non-conference match-up at fi rst-year program Mercer. Nine diff erent Air Force players found the back of the net, as the Falcons turned in a dominant perfor-mance to get back in the win column, earning a 14-5 victory for their fi rst road win of the year. McKee notched a game-high three goals to lead the Falcons, while Smith and Crampton each added two goals and an assist. Sophomore Pat Harrison registered his fi rst career points, notching a game-high two assists. Following the Mercer game, Smith was named the ECAC Lacrosse League Rookie of the Week. In addition to sharing the team lead with three points against the Bears, Smith also aided the Falcons’ dominance at the face-off X, winning 10-of-12 face-off s in the game. He recorded a season-high 10 ground balls, marking the highest single-game total for an Air Force player since Reilly Smith also notched 10

against Quinnipiac in 2008. Th e Falcons closed out their road slate on April 9 with a trip to Louisville, Ky., to face conference foe Bellarmine. Led by a career-high six points from Sandtorv, Air Force earned a 12-7 victory to pick up its second ECAC win of the year. Sandtorv scored a career-best-tying fi ve goals, including four in the fi rst half, and added an assist. Smith tallied four points with two goals and two assists, while also winning 12-of-15 face-off s for the Falcons. Paranka added three points on one goal and two assists, while Cassady fi nished with a pair of goals. Air Force returned home for its fi nal three games of the regular season, fi rst hosting Ohio State on April 17. Despite their momentum coming into the game, the Falcons struggled off ensively against the Buckeyes and were shut out in the opening half. While Ohio State scored just one goal in the opening period, the Buckeyes scored four unanswered goals in the second stanza to take a 5-0 lead at the intermis-sion. Ohio State’s advantage grew to 6-0 before Air Force fi nally broke its scoring drought when Smith assisted Harrision on a man-up goal at the 6:07 mark in the third period. Air Force outshot Ohio State, 38-25, for the game, but had just 11 shots on goal, compared to 15 for the Buckeyes. Ohio State also held an advantage on face-off s, winning 11-of-16 for the contest. In addition, the Falcons, who did not commit any penalties, fi nished 2-of-4 on their man-up opportunities. In its next game on April 23, Air Force took on Presbyterian in a non-confer-ence match-up. Fortunately, the Falcons’ off ensive struggles did not continue against the Blue Hose, as Air Force registered its highest scoring output since 1997 in an 18-9 victory. Th e Falcons had 10 diff erent players fi nd the back of the net against Presbyte-rian, led by Carroll and Sandtorv with three goals each. Smith added two goals and a game-high three assists for a team-best fi ve points, while Cassady and freshman Scott Hewitson also tallied two goals each and Paranka scored two assists. Air Force’s 18 goals against Presbyterian were the most scored by the Falcons in a single game since an 18-9 win over Dartmouth in 1997. It also marked just the fourth time in the past 14 years (and second in 2011) that the Falcons scored 15 or more goals in a game. Th e Falcons entered their fi nal game of the season with a chance at securing the fi nal spot in the inaugural ECAC Championship. Denver, Loyola and Fairfi eld had already locked up the top three seeds in the four-team tournament, while Ohio State and Air Force entered the fi nal weekend tied at 2-3 in the conference standings. Th e Falcons would need a win over Hobart on April 30, along with an Ohio State loss to Bellarmine. Hobart scored the fi rst goal of the game, but goals from Crampton and Sand-torv put the Falcons up by one at the end of the fi rst period. Air Force added to its lead in the second quarter, taking a 7-3 advantage at the half. While the Statesmen were able to get back within two goals in the third period, the Falcons were able to hold off a Hobart comeback, pushing the margin back to three with another goal from Sandtorv, assisted by Carroll at the 10:52 mark in the fi nal stanza. It proved to be the last score of the game, as both goalkeepers made several outstanding stops in the fourth quarter. Sandtorv (3g) and Cassady (1g, 2a) each registered three points to lead the Fal-cons. Also contributing to the Falcons’ victory was the defense of Dayton Gilbreath, who shut down Hobart’s leading scorer, Sam Miller. Gilbreath’s defensive pressure altered Miller’s shot selection, as he did not record a shot on goal, despite attempting a game-high nine shots. Gilbreath also helped the rest of the Air Force defense hold the Statesmen to just six goals, tying for the second-fewest scoring output by an Air Force opponent in 2011. As a result, Gilbreath was named the Air Force Athlete of the Week following the game versus Hobart. While Air Force did its part to secure the ECAC Championship berth, Ohio State claimed the fourth spot with its win over Bellarmine, putting an end to the Fal-cons’ season. Even though Air Force did not make it to the league tournament, the team fi nished the season tied for third (with Fairfi eld and Ohio State) in the ECAC standings, a marked improvement over their 2010 fi nish. At the conclusion of the regular season, the ECAC all-conference teams were announced. Earning all-conference recognition for the Falcons were Sandtorv and Dayton Gilbreath, both of whom were named second-team selections. Sandtorv earned second-team All-ECAC honors as a midfi elder for the second-straight sea-son aft er starting all 13 games for the Falcons playing at attack and midfi eld. He fi nished the season with a team- and career-best 33 points, including a team- and ca-reer-high 27 goals. Sandtorv also posted career-high numbers in assists (six), ground balls (24) and man-up goals (seven), leading the Falcons in the latter category. Meanwhile, Gilbreath earned all-conference honors for the third year, aft er earning All-GWLL honors as a freshman and All-ECAC accolades in his sophomore year. A starter in every game for the Falcons at close defense, Gilbreath was primar-ily responsible for shutting down his opponents’ top scorer. In 2011, he registered a career-best 30 ground balls, while also fi nishing second on the team in caused

turnovers with 14. Several awards were announced at the Falcons’ end-of-year banquet. Earning the team’s top award as most valuable player was Sandtorv, who was also named the Falcons’ off ensive MVP, while Dayton Gilbreath garnered defensive MVP honors for the second-straight season. With as many as fi ve freshmen in the starting lineup for Air Force this sea-son, the Rookie of the Year award was one of the toughest to decide, but the honor went to Smith, who also earned the Ground Ball Award and Face-Off Award. Smith, ranked as the 10th-best freshman in Division I by Inside Lacrosse, started all 13 games at midfi eld for the Falcons. Contributing in all areas of the game, Smith was Air Force’s top face-off midfi elder, winning a team-best 52.5 percent of his draws (83-of-158), while also leading the team with 64 ground balls. In addition, Smith was a potent weapon on off ense, fi nishing second on the team in points scored with 29, including a team-best 16 assists. Smith was later named a second-team selection on Inside Lacrosse’s All-Freshman Team for the 2011season. Senior defenseman Benson Oldmixon, was the recipient of this year’s Most Improved Award. Starting in 10 games, Oldmixon helped anchor the Falcons’ de-fense which allowed just 8.6 goals per contest, the team’s best defensive average since 2006. Earning the Falcons’ Unsung Hero Award, granted to the player who contrib-utes most to the team’s success without getting the recognition, was senior captain Tristan Newkirk. Aft er spending his fi rst three seasons as a midfi elder, Newkirk made the switch to defense this year in an eff ort to improve the team. In his fi rst year with a long pole, Newkirk had a strong season, fi nishing the year with 14 ground balls and ranked third on the team with 12 caused turnovers. Meanwhile, senior Woody Johnson was honored with the Pace Weber Award, which is presented yearly as a tribute to C1C Pace Weber, who perished along with his instructor in a T-3 fl ight training accident here at the Academy. Voted on by members of the team, the recipient is an individual who most exemplifi es the char-acteristics by which Pace Weber lived his life.

LACROSSE FACILITIESLACROSSE FACILITIES

Th is season, the Air Force lacrosse team will play all of its contests in Falcon Stadium, the site of Air Force’s fi rst-ever victory over service academy rival Army.

Falcon Stadium was built in the fall of 1962. Th e stadium, which was built in a natural bowl, has a capacity of 46,692 and stands in the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains.

Over the years, Falcon Stadium has seen numerous improvements. In 1991, the Academy installed nine skyboxes and remodeled the existing press box. In 2002, the Academy added permanent lights, while in 2004, a new scoreboard was installed. Prior to the 2006 season, FieldTurf was installed at the stadium. Th e new turf covers 84,480 square feet with an additional 26,520 square feet of native grass surrounding it.

Th e stadium was originally built solely for football, but several non-athletic events, such as the Academy's annual graduation, are conducted there.

Th e primary practice facility for the Air Force lacrosse team is the Cadet Lacrosse Stadium, which can also be used for competition. Home to the Falcons’ JV football team in the fall, the Cadet Lacrosse Stadium was refurbished with a new scoreboard for the 2009 season, while new improvements will continue to be made over the next several years.

During inclement weather, the Cadet Field House provides a full-fi eld indoor arti-fi cial turf fi eld for lacrosse use. Th e multi-purpose area has various uses during the year. It is the home of the Falcon track team. Th e area is also utilized by the football and baseball teams for indoor practice. Because of the full range of facilities available, lacrosse players can enjoy year-round practice—fall lacrosse with off -season scrim-mages, winter weight training and indoor practice in the spring.

Th e Cadet Field House is home to one of the largest permanently hung canvas paint-ings in the world. Th e mural, commissioned by the USAFA Association of Graduates and the class of 1976, is the work of Colorado Springs artist Michael Esch. Th e mural hangs on the north interior wall of the indoor track, and is 40 feet high and 320 feet long.

Th e theme of the work concerns the life of cadets at the Academy through their four-year stay, and is refl ected in four distinct panel divisions. A common thread under-pinning all panels is the environment of the Academy, with its mountain backdrop, Colorado sky and architectural setting. Over this background, a montage of scenes from all four years progresses on the panels. Th e composition touches the military, academic, athletic and character development mission of the Academy. Th e mural was completed in November 1997.

HOLADAY ATHLETIC CENTERHOLADAY ATHLETIC CENTER

Th e Holaday Athletic Center, Air Force’s newest athletic fa-cility was completed in July 2011. Th e 92,000 square-foot center houses a regulation-sized fi eld that can accommodate football, lacrosse and soccer, in addition to many other ath-letic activities. Cadet athletic development and performance will be enhanced through reduced weather delays, increased practice time, and improved replication of game conditions that the facility provides.

“Th is athletic facility will allow our cadets to safely train all year-round,” says Dr. Mueh, the Director of Athletics. “Th is is a tremendous step forward for the athletics program and the Academy in terms of providing vital support for our ca-dets’ development and success.”

Th e new building is named for Bart Holaday, Class of ‘65, and his wife, Lynn, who committed $5 million toward the construction of the new indoor athletic training facility. It marked the largest gift from a graduate to the Academy in the institution’s history.

THE AIR FORCE ACADEMYTHE AIR FORCE ACADEMY

Th e United States Air Force Academy off ers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become offi cers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force.

COURSE OF STUDYCadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a ca-reer Air Force offi cer. Th e entire USAFA experience is in-tegrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate.

Th e core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sci-ences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 32 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete ma-jors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics.

FACULTY COMPOSITIONTh e majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force offi cers. Th ey are selected primarily from career-offi cer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their fi eld of study.

About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity.

Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their offi cer development. Th e Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty for four years in a row.

To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Offi cers from other services, as well as offi cers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year.

ATHLETIC PROGRAMTh e Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fi tness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy off ers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and in-tercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three diff erent physical education courses each year.

MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAININGAn air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be eff ective Air Force offi cers.

Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, eth-ics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the fi rst summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States soci-ety as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force.

Th e Academy off ers courses in fl ying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, build-ing from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fl y light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team.

Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. Th ere are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their fi rst summer.

Combat survival training is a required three-week program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic free-fall parachute training.

During their last two summers, all cadets are off ered leadership training as super-visors or instructors in the summer programs listed above.

Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. Th e cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available.

NOMINATIONSNominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law. For information on admission procedures, write to HQ USAFA/RRS; 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 200; USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025 or go to www.usafa.edu.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY

In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. Th e board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. Aft er considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. Th e summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the fi rst Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was suffi ciently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Dr. Hans J. Mueh is in his eighth year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean

of faculty for two years prior to his retirement from active duty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heav-ily involved in Academy athletics before becoming director of athletics. He was the Academy’s faculty athletics representative from 1996-2004 and was a long-time member of the board of directors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Association.

Since becoming the director of athletics, Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkable feats. In 2007, the Academy was one of only three schools (Michi-gan State and Boston College) to reach post-season play in football (2007), men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). It marked the fi rst time a service academy has ever had a team compete in the post-season in all three sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’s basket-ball team has played in another NCAA tournament and the National Invitational Tournament’s Final Four. Th e ice hockey team has won the conference championship and advanced to the NCAA tourna-ment four of the last fi ve years. Mueh was on the selection committee that hired current head coach Frank Serratore and led the Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey Association. Th e football program, the Academy’s fl agship sport, has gone through a major overhaul under Mueh. He led the transition from the retirement of the legend-ary Fisher DeBerry aft er 23 years at the helm to hiring current head coach Troy Calhoun, a 1989 Academy graduate. Calhoun’s impact was immediate, leading the Falcons to a 9-4 overall mark and a second-place fi nish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007. Th e Falcons qualifi ed for their fi rst bowl game in fi ve years, playing in the Armed Forces Bowl in 2007. Th e program then posted back-to-back eight-win seasons and was 9-4 last year while qualifying for bowl games every year. Th e school has averaged 9,000 bowl tick-ets sold during the four-year run.

Mueh has been just as successful behind the scenes with the administration of the department. Mueh re-structured the department with an internal/external model that has streamlined resources and made the department more eff ective from top to bottom. In ad-dition, he has the department on course to become a federally chartered non-profi t organization which will lead to more fund-raising opportunities.

Mueh was instrumental in the USAFA Endowment and the announcement of the Holaday Athletic Cen-ter, an indoor training facility. Th e $15 million facil-ity was completed in July 2011.

Mueh has also been active within the conference and the NCAA. He was recently selected to be part of the NCAA Division I Amateurism Cabinet and has been active on the NCAA’s academics/eligibility compliance cabinet, the men’s golf committee and the region 7 postgraduate scholarship committee. Mueh has been equally active within the conference on various leadership committees. He is currently on the awards and recognition committee and has previously served on the joint council executive com-mittee, and committees on championships, television and sportsmanship.

Before assuming his duties as vice dean at the Acad-emy, Mueh was permanent professor and head of the department of chemistry at the Academy, a position he held since October 1987 where he oversaw the annual design and instruction of 25 undergraduate courses for 1,500 cadets annually.

Mueh was born Jan. 8, 1944, in Celle, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1951. He entered the Air Force in 1962 as a member of the Academy’s eighth graduating class, and graduated with a bach-elor of science degree in chemistry in 1966. While at the Academy, Mueh was a two-year letterwinner in soccer as a goalie. He still holds the Academy record for saves in a game with 30, accomplishing it twice in 1965 against North Carolina and Benedictine. In his junior and senior years, Mueh helped the Falcons to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League championship and quarterfi nal berths in the NCAA tournament.

AIR FORCE ATHLETICSAIR FORCE ATHLETICS

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s.

Th e goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical condition-ing of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for offi cership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. Th ere are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate ath-letics, intramurals and physical education.

Th e intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanc-tioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fenc-ing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifl e, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. Th e Academy fi elds women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifl e, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA pro-grams; boxing and cheerleading.

Th e majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. Th e Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colo-rado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally ranked teams.

Th e football team competes annually for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. Th e Falcons have won the trophy 17 times, which is more than any other academy. Th e winner of the annual rivalry visits the White House to have the trophy presented by the President of the United States.

Th e USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. Th e $5.6 million building is fi ve stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fi elds laid side by side. Th e structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and mul-tipurpose area. Th e three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000.

Clune Arena seats 5,858. Th e Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and fi eld competitions.
