Since his arrival in 2004, head coach Geoff Bennett has added to the winning tradition started at Colorado College during women’s soccer’s glory days of the 1980s and early ‘90s.

An overall winning record of 10-7-3 last fall, highlighted by a second-place finish in challenging Conference USA, gave Bennett an overall mark of 84-52-20 at CC.

That winning consistency was rewarded with a six-year contract extension effective until June 2018. Bennett enters his ninth season at CC in fall 2012. His ledger with the Tigers includes a 15-6-1 showing in 2006, when they returned to the NCAA playoffs for the first time since 1991 and the Lawrenceville, N.J., native finished as runner-up for C-USA Coach of the Year honors.

He’s 132-93-30 in 13 campaigns overall in the Division I women’s ranks.

Bennett, whose magic touch surfaced during previous coaching stints at St. Bonaventure University and the University of Rhode Island, has guided the Tigers to Conference USA playoff berths in five of six campaigns since they became an affiliate member of the league and earned an NCAA tournament bid in 2006. Just two years ago, in 2009, he brought them to the brink of another berth at nationals after a second-place finish in the C-USA standings.

Just the seventh head coach in more than three decades of women’s soccer at CC, Bennett wasted no time setting the wheels of change in motion once he assumed the reins in April 2004. He immediately raised the level of commitment required for continued involvement with the program and within 12 months had recruited a 2009 graduating class that provided a strong, solid foundation on which to build. And, after hiring a pair of outstanding assistants in Heather Masters and April Kater, he’s continued to complement and replace that group with more outstanding newcomers the last six years.

Bennett also spearheaded the behind-the-scenes effort that resulted in the program’s affiliate membership in Conference USA. After competing as a Division I independent since the mid-1980s, the Tigers now have a direct avenue to NCAA post-season play, with the league playoff champion

receiving an automatic bid. Before finishing second in the standings in ‘09, they tied for fourth place in each of their first three years in C-USA. In 2006, they reached the finals of the C-USA tournament before competing in the NCAA opening round.

Two years earlier, during his first season behind the Colorado College bench, Bennett guided his new team to an impressive .625 winning percentage (9-5-2). In 2005, while playing one of its toughest schedules ever, CC got off to a 5-0 start and achieved its first Top 25 national ranking in more than a decade. The Tigers ended up at 7-8-3 that campaign but have finished above .500 in seven of Bennett’s eight campaigns so far.

Bennett took over at St. Bonaventure in 1998 and coached the Bonnies to their first-ever berth in the Atlantic 10 Conference playoffs in 1999. In 2002, his second year at the Rhode Island reins, the Rams won their first Atlantic 10 regular-season title and made their initial appearance in the NCAA tournament. Bennett, meanwhile, was named league Coach of the Year once at each school.

A 1995 graduate of Hartwick College, where he lettered three years in soccer (1992-94) and earned his bachelor’s degree in English, Bennett eventually returned to the Oneonta, N.Y., campus in 2003 as an assistant coach of the school’s nationally ranked men’s soccer team. The Hawks finished 15-2-1 (.861) that season.

Bennett also was versatile during his own playing career, contributing at both forward and defense. As a junior in 1993, he helped Hartwick reach the third round of the NCAA tournament and finish with an overall record of 16-4-2. He was a fourth-round draft pick of the National Professional Soccer League’s Milwaukee Wave in 1994.

He owns a Premier Diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). He also has served as a member of the NSCAA Northeast Division I Regional Ranking Committee, the NSCAA Central Region chair from 2006-10, and on the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee.

Bennett and his wife, Jessica, are the proud parents of a young daughter, Grace, born in September 2009.

aPrIl Kater, assistant Coach

April Kater is in her seventh season as an assistant coach at CC. She joined the staff as an assistant coach in March 2006 and the following fall proceeded to help guide Colorado College to its best showing in 15 years. Overall, the Tigers are 68-39-15 (.619) in Kater’s six seasons with the program. A 1991 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, where she built an extensive collection of prestigious national awards during an illustrious playing career, Kater went on to serve as head coach of the women’s program at Syracuse University for eight seasons (1996-2003). During her tenure at the helm, Syracuse enjoyed seven winning campaigns, qualified for the Big East conference tournament three times and reached the second round of the NCAA playoffs on two occasions. Kater has served on the U.S. Soccer staff with various youth national teams since 2004, and worked with the Region I Olympic Development Program from 1998 through 2010. She was an assistant coach at her alma mater for two seasons (1993 and 1994), helping UMass reach the NCAA tournament both years, including a national semifinal appearance in 1993. Co-author of a book on techniques, tactics and teamwork in women’s soccer, published in the spring of 2001, Kater also has worked as a volunteer with Soccer Without Borders since spring of 2008. She and several CC players have been directly involved with a project in Granada, Nicaragua, as well as collecting equipment and funds to support the organization, which focuses on using soccer as a vehicle for youth development around the world. Kater was recipient of the 1990 Herman Award as the top player in collegiate women’s soccer. That same year, as a senior, she earned first-team All-America honors for the third consecutive season as well as serving as team captain and emerging as a first-team Academic All-American for the second time. She was named Freshman of the Year by Soccer America in 1987. Kater currently holds a USSF A License and an NSCAA Premiere Certification.

heather masters, assistant Coach

Heather Masters is in her ninth season as an assistant coach at Colorado College this fall. She joined the Colorado College staff in 2004 after spending the previous campaign coaching at the high-school level in her home state of Connecticut. She served as assistant coach of the girls varsity soccer team at Wilton High School in fall of 2003 then as strength and conditioning coach at Weston High School in spring of 2004. She owns an advanced national diploma for coaching from the NSCAA and is an NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist. A former standout at the University of Rhode Island during Geoff Bennett’s tenure as head coach there, Masters graduated from URI in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in health and fitness. She earned Atlantic-10 first-team all-conference honors as a senior team captain in 2002, and still holds school records for most matches started and played in a career. She and her husband, Rob, married in May 2009.

Ian Wood, athletic trainer

Ian Wood, who previously spent six years as chief of sports medicine for the United States Army World Class Athlete Program, joined the Colorado College staff as coordinator of sports medicine in July 2012. Wood supervises a staff of five professionals, in addition to a number of interns and student athletic trainers, who serve the college’s 17 varsity athletics programs through the duration of their respective seasons. He will work specifically with the women’s soccer team in fall of 2012. Wood began his professional career in 1996 as a member of the athletic training staff at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, N.Y.). He took on a similar role at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000, where he was elevated to head football athletic trainer before accepting his most recent position at Fort Carson in May 2006. There he directed a program that prepares elite military athletes for major international competitions including the Olympics. He also has worked the last two Military Olympic Games in India (2007) and Brazil (2011). The 41-year-old Wood is a 1994 graduate of Purdue University. A native of Lafayette, Ind., he went on to earn a master’s degree in exercise physiology from the University of Pittsburgh before accepting the job at West Point in 1996. He and his wife, Lynn, are the parents of a son, Connor, and a daughter, Isabelle.

After adding six nationally prominent universities a year earlier, Conference USA began yet another new chapter in 2006 with Colorado College joining as an affiliate member in women’s soccer. More than ever, C-USA feels it has an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the changing face of conference affiliations and has reinforced its position in collegiate athletics for years to come. Five more prestigious institutions are slated to join the conference in all sports for the 2013-14 academic year. They are University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Florida International University, Louisiana Tech University, University of North Texas and University of Texas at San Antonio. Making their debuts in the decade-old conference during 2005-06 were Marshall, Rice, SMU (Southern Methodist), Tulsa, UCF (Central Florida) and UTEP (Texas-El Paso). Those institutions combined forces with tradition-rich members East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane and UAB (Alabama Birmingham) to form a new look to the league. While Tulane was forced to drop women’s soccer and several other programs indefinitely due to Hurricane Katrina, the addition of CC in 2006 further enhanced programs steeped in athletic success and academic prowess.

Conference USA sent three teams (Colorado College, SMU and UAB) to the NCAA Division I post-season tournament in 2006, then two (Memphis and UCF) for each of the last six years. It sponsors competition in 19 sports altogether – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball). Conference USA, along with league administrators and coaches, maintains an unwavering commitment to the academic and athletic excellence of its member institutions. The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. Conference USA annually awards six postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award.

tigers strive to maintain storied tradition

When Geoff Bennett was hired as head coach at Colorado College in April 2004, he inherited a program rich in tradition and success. In 2006, his third season at the helm, Bennett not only led the Tigers into a new phase of their storied history – as an affiliate member of Conference USA – but also guided them back to the NCAA playoffs for the first time in 15 years. They’ve been on the brink of repeating the feat on several occasions since. A pioneer in the evolution of collegiate women’s soccer since the mid-1970s, as well as a perennial contender for the national championship in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, CC remains poised as ever to rekindle the memorable achievements of its past. Another talented and driven team shoots for the stars in 2012 while celebrating its seventh anniversary in C-USA, determined to add yet another exciting chapter to a proud history that now spans 38 years overall. the early Years

It all began in the spring of 1975. Officially formed as a club program, women’s soccer at Colorado College quickly earned a reputation as one of the most popular sports on campus. Steve Paul, a freshman reserve on the NCAA Division III men’s team, agreed to serve as coach and molded a team that went undefeated (8-0). That fall, the Tigers followed up with a 10-1 record, including a 4-0 mark in the inaugural CC Invitational, a tournament they won without allowing a goal in victories over the University of Colorado, Western State, Colorado State and Northern Colorado. The first invitational in state history at the women’s intercollegiate level, the competition would continue for the next decade but needed only three years to become a national event. That happened in 1978, the same year that Paul’s troops attained varsity status. The Colorado College Invitational expanded to 11 teams, including Stanford, Cal-Santa Barbara, Texas and

Wyoming. It received coverage from Soccer America Magazine, as well as from local and regional news media. By 1981, when CC hosted the seventh annual event, the University of Arizona and Indiana had joined the field. The Tigers won the tournament for the third time in 1983. Colorado College co-founded the Rocky Mountain Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer League in 1977 with charter members CU, CSU, UNC, Western State and the CU Medical Center. After merging with the men to form RMISL in ’78, the Tigers won league titles in ’81 and ’82. They were undefeated in league play and ranked as high as No. 9 nationally in the fall of 1982, going 14-4 overall in Paul’s final season at the helm. Paul, who was inducted into the Colorado College Athletics Hall of Fame in May 2004, left with an eight-year record of 110-46-7. His program had produced its first All-Americans in Kristen Fowler (1980), goalkeeper Robyn Waltz (1981) and Kathy Ludwig (1982), as well as several All-RMISL selections in Fowler (three times), Cheryl Murphy, Debbie Parks and Judy Sondermann. The school initially offered athletics scholarships for women’s soccer in the fall of 1981, and as Region VII champions, the Tigers received their first bid to the national post-season tournament in Chapel Hill, N.C., that same campaign. Meanwhile, increasing efforts to comply with Title IX legislation promised an even brighter future.

Birthplace of the national Championship

While establishing its own storied tradition, CC carved a special niche in the history of collegiate athletics as well. In 1980, Paul spearheaded an effort that brought seven teams to Colorado College from schools across the United States. At stake? The first-ever national collegiate championship for women’s soccer.

The Tigers, who had attained their varsity status just two years earlier, didn’t even participate after posting a 12-7-1 record that season.

Instead, they let legitimate contenders from the University of North Carolina, Harvard, Texas A&M, UCLA, Cortland State of New York, Northern Colorado and Colorado State battle each other for bragging rights at present-day Washburn Field. Another and certainly no less important reason for the tournament was to earn an official sanction for the sport from the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. And, by complying with and fulfilling guidelines set forth by the AIAW, Paul and his fellow organizers ultimately achieved their goal. After the Red Dragons of Cortland State claimed that inaugural crown, collegiate women’s soccer was off and running. North Carolina hosted and won the competition in 1981, under the AIAW’s sanction. A year later, the National Collegiate Athletic Association took over sponsorship of the event and crowned the University of Central Florida as champion. The rest is history. Colorado College, a pioneer in the development of the sport itself, takes great pride as the birthplace to the national tournament. CC’s golden era

The early 1980s presented a dilemma in terms of gender equity. Deciding ultimately to upgrade a women’s sport rather than downgrade its Division I hockey program, the administration at Colorado College chose soccer as beneficiary of the change. Dang Pibulvech, an assistant at Central Florida, was hired as Paul’s successor. The Tigers celebrated his arrival with a 14-0-2 season in 1983 that saw them reach No. 7 in the national rankings but receive no bid to the NCAA playoffs. Competing primarily against Division I teams for the first time in 1984, CC took the next step. Pibulvech’s squad finished with an impressive 11-4-1 record including a 1-1 mark in the NCAA Tournament, defeating George Mason University, 2-1, in the first round before bowing out, 1-0 in a penalty-kick shootout after double overtime, to the University of California-Berkeley in the quarterfinals. In 1985, the Tigers officially entered the ranks of Division I and made their first of five national semifinal appearances within a span of seven years. Janine Szpara, the starting goalkeeper from 1985 through 1988, is one of only two student athletes in school history to earn All-America honors in her sport for four consecutive seasons. Szpara, along with former women’s soccer standouts Fowler, Tara Nott, Kerri Tashiro and Mary Everett, also have been inducted as individuals into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Starting with the undefeated season in 1983, the Tigers entered a “Golden Era” that would yield eight consecutive NCAA playoff bids (1984-91), two appearances in the championship match (1986 and ’89) and an overall winning percentage of .757 (164-49-11) against varsity opposition. The only prize that eluded them was the national title, as both trips to the finals ended with narrow defeats to North Carolina. The entire 1986 team, including Szpara and Tashiro, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in October 2006. moving ahead, decade by decade

A powerhouse among the Division I elite through the early 1990s, Colorado College can boast of 32 winning seasons in its previous 36 years

of existence. In 2000, the Tigers ushered in the new millennium with 13 victories, their most since 1991. A year later they also recorded the program’s best winning percentage (.667) in a decade, going 11-5-2 while suffering CC’s fewest losses since 1992. In 2004, Bennett’s first season at the helm, they lost just twice in their final 13 games and finished 9-5-2. In 2005, they earned a Top-25 ranking after a 5-0 start capped by a stunning victory at the University of Nebraska. They took another huge step forward in 2006, tying for fourth place in their inaugural season as a member of Conference USA, then earning an NCAA tournament bid after upsetting UTEP and regular-season champion SMU in the league playoffs. Along the way, Bennett’s troops attained a Top 25 national ranking and climbed as high as No. 8 in the Central Region poll. Despite falling to UAB (Alabama-Birmingham) in the C-USA championship game and to the University of Colorado in the NCAA opening round, they posted the program’s highest victory total (15) since 1991. In 2009, en route to a 12-6-2 overall record that fell just short of earning them another NCAA bid, CC went 8-2-1 in league play to finish second in the Conference USA standings before falling to nationally-ranked University of Memphis in the league semifinals. In 2010, despite significant graduation losses and another very challenging schedule, the Tigers finished 8-7-4 while producing four all-conference selections. In 2011, en route to claiming second place in C-USA again with another 8-2-1 conference mark, they wound up 12-7-3 overall after a 1-4-2 start. History speaks for itself. Colorado College’s tradition of excellence has produced 14 All-Americans who have claimed a total of 23 plaques. A majority of the team members now earns annual spots on the C-USA Academic Honor Roll, while many over the years have reaped all-region recognition and district all-academic accolades. Several alumni such as Szpara, Tami Carteen, Martina Holan, Charry Korgel, Robyn Neigel and Kris Zeits have gone on to play professionally. A handful more, including Maryclaire Robinson, Liza Grant and Karla Thompson, have graduated to the collegiate coaching ranks. Holan, who now goes by her married name of Martina Franko, played for Canada at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Entering the 2012 season, the Tigers owned an incredible winning percentage of .820 (214-38-23) in 275 all-time games on the CC campus (Stewart and Washburn Fields) under Bennett and former coaches Pibulvech, Carl Beal (1991-93), Nicole Crepeau (1994-98), Greg Ryan (1999-2002) and Erik Oman (2003). That includes a 6-1 record on Washburn’s AstroPlay surface. Toss in a 12-3 mark in 15 all-time matches at Stetson Hills Soccer Field in northeast Colorado Springs, along with a season-opening loss to William & Mary at Fountain Valley High School in 2001, and they officially were 226-42-22 (.817) in 290 home outings overall heading into this fall. And, with the thin air at 6,035 feet above sea level, there’s no reason to think out-of-town visitors will fare any better in the future.

Stewart Field’s integral role as a site for Colorado College athletic activities has spanned eight decades. Since its creation in the wash-up of a 1935 flood, the field has served the needs of baseball, football, lacrosse and soccer at CC, and has undergone many changes en route to becoming the current home turf for men’s and women’s varsity soccer, as well as the women’s lacrosse team. Originally plotted as a city park, the open facility borders Washburn Field in the northwest corner of campus. In the early days, it was used mainly as a baseball field and practice area for football. Men’s soccer began using it from time to time in the early 1950s. In 1962, when the sport attained varsity status, Stewart was designated as its home field. The first real renovations, however, did not occur until the late 1960s, when lack of maintenance and overgrowth of weeds forced the soccer team to temporarily move to Bonny Park, located about a mile further north on the east side of Monument Creek. The team’s first-ever NCAA playoff game, against St. Louis University in 1966, was played at adjacent Washburn Field. With the inception of a women’s soccer program in the mid-1970s, Stewart Field still had no natural lines or definition. Its boundaries consisted of trees to the north and south, the creek to the west and a heavily wooded area to the east where wild animals roamed, lovers sought privacy and soccer balls disappeared for years. Nearby sorority houses overlooked the playing field from the hillside on the eastern fringe, and a steep, dangerous stairway leading down from McGregor Hall offered the most widely used entrance and exit. Today, the landscape is clear and the natural-grass playing surface accommodates a regulation-size soccer field. An enclosed two-story press box, which houses a modest medical trainer’s room on its lower level, was built at midfield along the west sideline in the late 1990s, and covered benches were added in 2003. On the hill leading to CC’s newest dormitories to the east of the field, spectators can relax and watch a game with the snow-capped summit of Pikes Peak towering just a few miles to the west at 14,115 feet above sea level.

Right where the short grass prairie meets the foothills of the Rockies, there is a place where, with a certain amount of guts and an open mind, students can study the liberal arts and sciences in the mountain air.

A private, four-year college, Colorado College is located on a 90-acre campus in downtown Colorado Springs near the base of the 14,115-foot Pikes Peak. It’s the only college of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region and one of only a handful of its type located in a metropolitan area.

Getting lost in a good book…Learning at CC is kind of like that. Under the school’s unique and intensive “Block Plan,” students take one course at a time for three and a half weeks. This means smaller classes, with more writing, discussion, and in-depth investigation of one subject at a time.

During a block, students immerse themselves in environmental science or chemistry, Chinese or Spanish, poetry or medieval history, or any of our stimulating courses on campus or around the world. Our students come from many ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds. They typically are independent-minded adventurers who love a challenge. At CC, they find the encouragement, opportunities and inspiration they need to reach their greatest potential.

A full range of the performing arts, special interest clubs and organizations, student publications and intramural and intercollegiate athletics rounds out the rigorous academic program

at CC. The college encourages freedom of expression through an independent student press, as well as student and faculty forums on current issues and programs representing widely ranging viewpoints, often presented by distinguished visitors to the campus.

more about the Block PlanTeaching and learning are at the heart of all activity. Students never sit in a jam-packed lecture hall. With an enrollment of less than 2,000 and a nine-to-one ratio with faculty, our students get to know accomplished instructors who teach first and foremost – all in seminar- style classes. They may choose to work on a student/faculty collaborative research project, or create their own independent study. Students learn to venture their own opinions and begin the process of shaping their own direction and destiny.

The student body typically is composed of men and women from all 50 states and more than two dozen foreign countries. A large majority hails from states other than Colorado. A significant percent

are either American ethnic minority or international students, and most live on campus. All but a very small percent participate in community service, play intramural sports or study abroad at some point during their collegiate career. speaking of athleticsColorado College has a long and proud tradition of intercollegiate athletics and today offers competition in eight varsity sports for men, as well as nine for women. That includes NCAA Division I ice hockey for men and soccer for women. Otherwise, the Tigers compete at the Division III level.

While the hockey team plays and practices at the Colorado Springs World Arena located six miles from campus, all other intercollegiate, intramural and recreational athletics programs are centered at a sports complex consisting of El Pomar Sports Complex, Washburn and Stewart Fields, and Honnen Ice Rink.

El Pomar Sports Center, still in the midst of a $27 million renovation and expansion project that began late in 2011, houses the athletics department offices as well as J. Juan Reid Arena, home court for the CC basketball and volleyball teams, and Schlessman Pool. Once the current construction is completed in spring 2013, the building also will be equipped a new state-of the-art fitness center and additions including a cardio conditioning room with separate strength area; separate space for varsity training; a yoga studio; squash courts; two auxiliary gyms; expanded physical therapy space; indoor and outdoor lounge spaces for students, faculty, and staff to socialize; and separate locker rooms for students, faculty, and staff. Washburn Field serves as the home stadium for men’s lacrosse and track and field teams, as well as an occasional venue for the men’s and women’s intercollegiate soccer squads. A six-lane, quarter-mile, latex track borders the perimeter, lights accommodate night activities and bleacher seating allows for 2,500 spectators. Adjacent to Washburn lies Stewart Field, primary home to the soccer teams, along with women’s lacrosse.

Colorado College believes participation in sports to be an integral part of a well-ordered program of liberal education and, therefore, encourages the widest possible participation in its programs by members of the college community. The college is committed to a philosophy of sport that stresses the value and enjoyment of participation in the physical testing of oneself, and that challenges individuals to develop their physical and mental capacities.

shaping tomorrow’s leadersA number of Colorado College alumni were tapped by President Obama for positions in his administration. They include:• Former Colorado Senator Ken Salazar ’77,

secretary of the interior• Jane Lubchenco ’69, head of the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration• Lori Garver ’83, deputy administrator of NASA• Marcia McNutt ’74, director of the U.S. Geological Survey• Harris Sherman ’64, agriculture undersecretary for natural

resources and environment

Additionally, Colorado College had a 2008 graduate, Aaron Gutierrez, serving as an intern in the office of legislative affairs at the White House. Gutierrez, who was born and raised in Pueblo, Colo., graduated with a B.A. in international political economy and a minor in Spanish. A survivor of brain cancer, Gutierrez was a Fellow at El Pomar Foundation, one of the largest and oldest grant-giving foundations in the Rocky Mountain West. At El Pomar, he received firsthand experience in the nonprofit sector.

Gutierrez and McNutt, who has served as president and CEO of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, are among the long list of notable CC alums that also includes William J. Hybl ’64, past president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, member of the International Olympic Committee, and nominated delegate to the United Nations General Assembly; Lynne Cheney ’63, news commentator and wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney; Tara Nott Cunningham ’94, the United States’ first Olympic gold medalist in women’s weightlifting (2000 Games); Olympic gold medalist Peggy Fleming ’70; Olympic cyclist and World Mountain Bike Champion Alison Dunlap ’91; William “Bro” Adams ’69, Colby College’s 19th president and former president of Bucknell University; Neal Baer ’78, an executive producer/writer for “ER” and “Law & Order SVU”; Jay Engeln ’74, 2000 National High School Principal of the Year and currently CC’s director of alumni & parent relations; U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette ’79; Glenna Goodacre ’61, a sculptor who designed the image of Sacagawea on the golden U.S. dollar coin; and Peter Neupert ’78, Microsoft executive and founder of Drugstore.com.

Ken ralph, director of athletics

Whether he’s conducting a staff meeting, interviewing candidates for a staff opening or diligently working behind the scenes on the latest leap forward involving sports and recreation at Colorado College, it’s refreshingly obvious that Ken Ralph has infused a contagious spirit of enthusiasm, heightened sense of accountability and widespread commitment to excellence during his five years as director of athletics.

An energetic, well-spoken and approachable leader with a resolute attitude, uncompromising work ethic and common-sense approach to any situation, Ralph has demonstrated not only the vision to steer the department in exciting directions, but also the instincts, perseverance and professionalism to see those dreams through to fruition. The school already has successfully launched a new, dynamic athletics Web site and implemented live video streaming of home games for nearly half of its 17 varsity programs during his tenure in office. Within the next year, completion of the $27 El Pomar Center project and CC’s debut as a member of the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference will further attest to his effectuality.

Ralph, who accepted his current position in July 2007, previously served as AD at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for five years. Like Colorado College, Rensselaer also is a Division III school with two Division I teams, so Ralph was no stranger to CC’s multi-divisional status upon his arrival. He’d been involved in January 2004 when the NCAA voted overwhelmingly in favor of amended legislation that permits both schools and six other Division III institutions to continue granting financial aid to student-athletes who compete on their Division I teams. For Colorado College, the outcome preserved men’s ice hockey and women’s soccer at the Division I level. For RPI, it was Division I men’s and women’s hockey. Other schools affected were Clarkson University, Hartwick College, Johns Hopkins University, Rutgers-Newark, St. Lawrence University, and SUNY-Oneonta.

At CC, the 43-year-old Ralph now manages a department with a budget of more than $7 million. A member of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation board of directors, he served as tournament director for the 2008 NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey West Regional at the World Arena. CC and the Sports Corp were co-hosts of the event. He also ran two previous regionals – in 2004 and 2006, both in Albany, N.Y. – while at Rensselaer.

Prior to his years at RPI, Ralph served as senior assistant athletic director, head swimming coach and head water polo coach at Connecticut College; director of aquatics, head swimming coach and physical education instructor at University of Evansville; assistant swimming coach and physical education instructor at the U.S. Air Force Academy; director of aquatics and head swimming coach at Kutztown University; director of aquatics and head swimming coach at Georgetown University; assistant swimming coach at the University of Missouri; and assistant swimming coach at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He has served on committees for ECAC Hockey, USA Hockey, and the Liberty League. Ralph is a 1991 graduate of Alaska Anchorage, where he earned five NCAA Division II All-America awards in swimming, was twice named UAA Swimmer of the Year, and was a USS Senior National Qualifier. In 2005, he was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science at UAA and a master’s in sports management studies from California University (Pa.). He and his wife, Mary, celebrated their 17th anniversary in June.

He is a member of the athletics senior staff and also serves on numerous committees, both for the athletics department as well as for the college as a whole.

Capell brought a wealth of experience and professional diversity to Colorado Springs upon his arrival in July 2004. Prior to a five-year stint as AD at Division III Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, he worked at the University Minnesota – first as the director of athletics publications (1994-96) and then as an assistant to the director of men’s athletics (1996-99).

A 1981 graduate of Loras, he stayed at his alma mater as an admissions counselor, assistant football and track & field coach for two years before accepting a position at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. He spent a full decade at St. Thomas, in a variety of roles including assistant football coach, assistant track & field coach, sports information director and assistant AD.

In his position at Loras, Capell managed a department with a $1.8 million budget, and directed an athletics program that rose to 37th nationally among 425 Division III schools in the 2004 USSA Director’s Cup rankings. He also served as tournament director for the 2004 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships, an event that drew the second highest attendance in its history and generated $1.5 million in revenue for the city of Dubuque. Capell, who earned his master’s degree in athletics administration from St. Thomas in 1999, is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, the National Association of Division III Athletics Administrators, and the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. He and his wife, Marcy, have a daughter, Erin, and son, Gabriel.

anne goodman James, senior Woman administrator

Under head coach Anne Goodman James leadership, the Tigers look poised to remain perennial contenders for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference team championships after the men’s and women’s programs’ best showings since joining the league.

In February 2012, the Tiger men set 17 school records en route to a program-best second-place finish at the SCAC championships. The Colorado College women set seven school marks and recorded season bests in all 14 swimming events to record a program-best third-place finish. The staff received coaching staff of the meet recognition for the breakthrough weekend.The milestone performances did not go unnoticed at the national level. Colorado College earned its first national ranking since the 1970’s when the Tigers were listed at No. 18 in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America’s final regular-season poll. Five Tigers advanced to the NCAA national meet where senior Jordan DeGayner placed first in the 200-yard freestyle.

Goodman James, who has produced 93 All-Americans, 29 national champions and countless NCAA qualifiers at five different schools since 1976, has coached Colorado College’s swimming and diving teams since 2006. She also serves as director of aquatics and senior woman administrator for the athletics department.

In 2006-07, her first season at the Tigers helm, Goodman James guided CC through an impressive inaugural campaign as a member of the SCAC. Both the men (3.225) and women (3.523) posted the highest team grade-point averages in the SCAC while earning repeat Academic All-America recognition.

A 1975 graduate of Texas Tech University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in physical education, Goodman James went on to coach the swimming teams at her alma mater (1976-80 and 1982-86) as well as at California State University at Hayward (1980-81), Northern Michigan University (1986-96) and the University of Arkansas (1996-2006).

While at Northern Michigan, where she also doubled as assistant AD for five years (1991-96), she twice (1988 and 1991) was named NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year. She was named Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year three times (1990, 1991 and 1992) while with the Wildcats, and last October was inducted into the NMU Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the 2007 class.

Goodman James, who also owns a master’s degree from Indiana University, is a former president (1993-95) of the College Swimming Coaches Association of America and recipient of the CSSAA’s prestigious Steadman Award for contributions to the sport and her athletes. She served on the NCAA Swimming and Diving Committee for seven years (1987-94).

She has made numerous presentations on coaching, training and Title IX legislation during her career. She also has written articles published in the NCAA News, Swimming World magazine and Coaching: Women’s Athletics magazine.
