"A Special Special Teamer: Tribe's Leach Gives Back to Community" By Don Leypoldt '96

01/25/2011

“Do good, then disappear.”

St. Francis of Assisi allegedly said it.

Mike Leach ’00 of the Arizona Cardinals certainly lives it.

Leach has quietly run his regular season consecutive games streak to 136. He plied his trade as a long snapper for the Denver Broncos from 2002 to 2008, then signed a three-year deal with the Cardinals in March of 2009.

Leach unfortunately plays a position that only gets attention when they make a mistake. There will be no “T Ocho Show” about long-snappers.

The key to a sustained career “as a snapper, is just not messing it up. It’s staying anonymous and not letting anybody notice me,” Leach admits candidly.

Leach did get a lot of notice for the Tribe, earning all-American honors as a tight end and first team All-Atlantic 10 honors as a punter.

“I don’t think it necessarily helped me snap,” Leach observed about his past punting experience. “It helps me be a better teammate to the punter. Maybe I can notice a few things with drops, footwork or steps. Things that if I happen to notice, I at least have some credibility having done it before.”

The Tennessee Titans signed Leach as an undrafted free agent in 2000.

“I was fortunate enough to get a shot with the Titans and I did well in the first training camp and pre-season. I made the team and sort of stumbled into the other end of the punting equation,” Leach recalled. “I went from punting in college to snapping and was fortunate to find that I could do it. I had some natural talent and good coaching to mentor me along.

“When you weigh 235 to 245 you have to find some way to stick around as a tight end. Long snapping has enabled me to do that. It’s always working at it and not taking it for granted. I felt that if I am consistent with that I should be able to play for a long time.”

Leach concluded, “But I play tight end on the scout team and am ready to go if they need me. That’s a roster spot that maybe they can dedicate to another position, especially with having only 45 players active on game day. That helps my career too.”

If you do enough good, it becomes harder to disappear. Leach has now played more NFL games than Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis combined. Quiet consistency eventually gets noticed.

The Leach family’s other quiet consistency- their steadfast community service- has not gone unnoticed either.

One slow day after practice during his rookie year, Leach found himself with some Titans posters and memorabilia. He decided on a whim to go to a local hospital and drop them off for the pediatric patients.

“It doesn’t matter to these kids if you were a long snapper or if you were Eddie George, Frank Wycheck or one of the big time guys,” Leach said. “All they saw is that you were in the NFL and that you wore a jersey and helmet on Sundays too. They wanted to meet you, talk with you, take pictures.

“That may have been the time that I noticed that just being in the NFL elevates your status a little.”

In late December, the Cardinals honored Leach with their 2010 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. The award acknowledges the Leach family’s deep and steady commitment to community service.

“The Leaches are mainstays at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Hometown Huddle. Reading to kids and kids’ camps,” announced Cardinal president Michael Bidwell at the press conference.

Leach and his wife Julie (nee Sommer) ’99 enthusiastically dedicate themselves to children’s causes. Having a healthy son and daughter of their own makes those charities hit close to home.

“To think of our own kids and what (other kids) are going through- sickness. Disease and families going through that. If someone can spend a little time with a long snapper and his family and that is going to help them make a tough time easier, then why not do it?” Leach asks rhetorically.

“It’s really not that hard to spend a couple of hours with some kids and families, play with them and maybe get them to not think about the hardships going on in their lives.”

The Leaches volunteer at reading programs for children and the Cardinals’ annual Thanksgiving dinner for the underprivileged. But “the one that is probably closest to us,” Leach explained, “is what we do at Children’s Hospital in Phoenix.”

A mutual acquaintance introduced Leach- then a Bronco- to a boy named Kohl Benjamin, who had broken his arm at football practice. A doctor examined Kohl’s severe swelling and rushed him to Children’s Hospital. It turned out that Kohl had undiagnosed Ewing’s Sarcoma- bone cancer- and he fortunately broke the arm right on the tumor. Leach had Kohl to a game and visited him in the hospital several times.

Leach picks up the story, “I was doing that and realized ‘Hey, why don’t we do this more often?’ So I contacted the community relations person for the Broncos and they gave us hats and things to hand out. Once a month we would go the hospital, take our son, hand things out, sign some autographs. That has probably been dearest to our hearts. When we came to Phoenix last year we brought it with us.

“Unfortunately, you see some of the same kids there. Sometimes it is kids battling tough things like cancer. Other times, the kids will make some speedy recoveries and they just happen to be there for a few days.”

“There is nobody who has done a better job at community service for the Arizona Cardinals than Mike Leach,” concluded Bidwell at the Payton press conference.

Leach would disagree. He deflects credit to Julie faster than he gets off a snap.

“The Payton Award has my name on it but it is more thanks to Julie than anything. She is the one who sets up all of the hospital visits, emails and tweets all of the things to the Cardinals. She is at every hospital visit with me and while I’m playing video games with the guys she is doing crafts the girls who are patients,” Leach said proudly.

“There is no way, without her, I would have even thought about getting this award. It’s as much her, if not more, than it is me.”

Julie left Williamsburg as the fifth all time leading scorer in Tribe basketball history. Mike has beaten her just once in a shooting contest.

Two graduates with Tribe pride –“it was just a great place to have graduated from and both Julie and I are proud to be W&M alums,” noted the Cardinal on his College - the Leaches embody the tradition of service that has long distinguished William & Mary. Even if Mike called D.O.G. Street home for just two years.

As a North Jersey prepster, Leach was interested in William and Mary but was not offered a scholarship. He attended Boston University- who promptly dropped football after his sophomore season.

“When they dropped the program I just took it upon myself to start making calls. (Then W&M) assistant coach Bob Solderich was the first place I called. That was where I wanted to go. He basically hung up on me,” Leach laughed.

“He didn’t know what the rules were and this was such foreign territory for everybody. They aren’t going to be breaking rules at William & Mary.”

When the NCAA blessed the transfer of BU students without losing any eligibility, the College brought Leach down for a recruiting visit. The rest is history.

Leach now enters his eleventh NFL off-season; one of his projects will be finding an appropriate spot for the Payton Award.

“I have a hard time getting recognized for things,” Leach confessed. “Maybe it’s because I play the position I do but it’s almost embarrassing to get an award for doing those kinds of things. But it was a great honor nonetheless. I’m proud of it and for Julie for all of her help too.

“We get way more out of it than I think we give to some of the kids and their families,” he concluded. “It’s been eye opening for us to see what some of these people are going through. You almost feel guilty saying it but if we can help them a little bit, it makes us feel good about what we’re doing. At the same time we try to set a good example for our kids and show them what it means to give back.”

Note: Mike Leach will be inducted into the William & Mary Athletics Hall of Fame in the Spring of 2011

#12 Tribe Men's Soccer Runs Away with CAA Championship, 4-0, over Hofstra

11/14/2010

 Williamsburg - The #12-ranked William and Mary Tribe men’s soccer team captured its seventh CAA title in program history on Sunday afternoon, beating the Hofstra Pride, 4-0, at Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field. With the victory, the Tribe improves its record to 15-3-2 on the season.

Thanks to four second-half goals, the Tribe claimed its first conference championship since the 2000 season. Along with the CAA title, the Tribe earned the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The bid is the 14th in school history and the second in three years for the program.

For William and Mary, the men’s soccer CAA title is the 100th in school history. The 100 CAA crowns is the most of any school and W&M is the only CAA institution to reach the 100 conference championships benchmark.

Leading the way for the Tribe was junior Nicolas Abrigo, who registered the Tribe’s first hat trick since the since senior Alan Koger notched one on October 18, 2008. Also netting a goal for the Tribe was the aforementioned Koger, who scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season. Recording assists on the afternoon for the College were senior Jimmy Carroll and redshirt-sophomore Ben Anderson. In goal, senior Andrew McAdams registered his CAA-leading eighth shutout of the season, making three saves.

In a physical, back and forth first half, neither team would be able to get on the scoreboard. In the first 45 minutes, Hofstra was able to out shoot the College, 5-4, but the Tribe would get more shots on goal, 3-1.

Late in the first half, the Tribe would get its best two chances at a goal. In the 28th minute, the Tribe was on the attack with the ball on the left wing. Sophomore Ben Coffey sent a great cross to the right side of the box, finding an open Koger. Koger settled the pass and took a shot on goal from six yards, only to see the Hofstra keeper touch it left of the post for a corner kick.

On the ensuing corner, freshman Roshan Patel found himself open on the right side from about 20 yards out. Patel cracked a shot towards goal on the ground which was hit with such pace that the Pride’s goalie had no choice but to push it out of play.

Despite the good chances, the match would head into halftime in a scoreless tie. In the first frame, four different players took shots for the College, with Abrigo, Koger, and Patel all getting looks on goal for William and Mary.

The second half of the match would continue to be a physical battle, but in this half, the Tribe would be able to score four goals, running away with the CAA championship. In the second half, the College would out shoot the Pride, 10-5, getting six shots on goal to Hofstra’s two.

Abrigo would get the scoring started for the College in the 678th minute after the Tribe was awarded a free kick from just outside the 18-yard box of Hofstra. Abrigo approached the ball from the left, striking it beautifully with his right foot. Abrigo’s strike bent perfectly around the Pride wall of players, just outside the reach of the Hofstra goalie for the first goal of the match.

Just over 10 minutes later, Koger would get in on the goal-scoring action for the Tribe, taking advantage of a Pride team that was now playing with just 10 men. On a counter-attack, Anderson found a streaking Koger on the left side of the pitch. Anderson delivered a pass perfectly in stride to Koger, who beat the Pride keeper. After getting past the sprawling goalie, Koger was able to tap the ball into an empty net from six yards out. Koger’s 10th goal of the season gave the Tribe a 2-0 advantage.

The Tribe continued to assault the Hofstra defense even after taking a 2-0 lead. In the 84th minute, Abrigo beat the Hofstra keeper to a pass from Carroll on the right side, giving Abrigo space for a shot. Abrigo wouldn’t waste the opportunity, burying a shot in the back of the net from 18 yards out for his second goal of the match.

Just over three minutes later, Abrigo would complete his hat trick and cement the match even further for the Green and Gold. On a counter attack, Abrigo was in space on a breakaway. Abrigo fired a shot towards goal that was batted right back to him off a diving Hofstra goalie. Abrigo collected the rebound and calmly shot the ball in from 15 yards out to give the College its first CAA title in 10 years.

The four goals for the Tribe in its win over Hofstra tied the team’ season high this season, with its previous four-goal output coming on September 12 of this season in a win over Rhode Island. The four goals scored was also the most for the Tribe in the CAA Tournament since the College defeated UNC Wilmington in the quarterfinals in 2001.

After the match, Abrigo was named the CAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, having totaled four goals, including both game-winners. Also earning a spot on the All-Tournament team for William and Mary were McAdams, Koger, and senior Derek Buckley.

The #12-ranked William and Mary Tribe men’s soccer team now awaits the NCAA Tournament. The selection show for the national championship will air on Monday, November 15 at 4:30 p.m. on ESPNU. For complete coverage of William and Mary men’s soccer, go to TribeAthletics.com.
 

"Baako at Home on Williamsburg Pitch" by Don Leypoldt '96

Peruse the hometowns of some of the great position players in recent William & Mary soccer history.  You start to see a theme:

 

"Sweet Smells Success" By Don Leypoldt '96

10/14/2010

In 1991, William & Mary’s Vickie Linkous won two individual titles in the same golf season.

Little Caroline Sweet was one year old at the time. It’s a safe bet that Linkous’ success at the time was lost on the toddler.

No Tribe woman’s golfer would win two titles in a year….until the fall of 2009. Caroline Sweet, now a sophomore at William & Mary, opened the 2009-10 season by shooting 10 over par to win the Bucknell Invitational. Sweet followed it up by firing a school record 69 (-3) to share medalist honors in the rain-shortened Great Smokies Intercollegiate.

“Coming into the season last year, I hadn’t gotten in as much practice over the  summer as I wanted,” Sweet recalled. “I was doing an internship with the local golf association and I only played in a few events. I was very nervous on how I was going to play.

“But something clicked with my swing. It was so automatic. I haven’t struck the ball that well since. If I aimed at the target, I set up, swung and that’s where the ball was going. I didn’t have trouble with my short game or putting. Everything came together. I knew I was going to play well every time I stepped on the tee.

She laughed, “It didn’t last too long but it was fun while it lasted.”

Sweet carded the second best sophomore stroke average (77.4) in school history and ended her outstanding campaign by finishing seventh in the CAA Championships. Her sophomore year built on a strong freshman season where Sweet set a Tribe rookie record for stroke average and finished in the top 5 twice.

And while her current season is not as headline grabbing as last year’s, Sweet, now a junior, notched a top 15 finish at this year’s Nittany Lion Invitational.

“That’s the frustrating thing about golf is that you realize (great play) is there but you can’t always grab on to it,” she admits. “It’s the number one struggle for me: mentally trying to return to that zone.

“When you first start golf, it’s all mechanics because you have to learn how to swing, how to strike the ball the right way and how to build a foundation. But once you’ve been playing for a long time, it is all mental. I know that when I make mechanical mistakes, I’m not thinking the right way. It’s not physical. When you get yourself in the right mindset,” she concluded with a chuckle, “all of those problems disappear.”

Coach Jay Albaugh was fortunate to sign Sweet when he did. She earned the Washington Post’s Metro Golfer of the Year for her superb senior season: one where she won the Maryland state championship and then the Maryland Women’s Amateur Championship just weeks before she matriculated in Williamsburg.

“I had what I consider my best achievements- winning the state championship and winning the state amateur- after I signed with William & Mary, so that was really exciting for me,” Sweet recalled.

No telling what kind of offers Sweet would have received had Albaugh not been so proactive. “It was down to William and Mary and Columbia,” Sweet remembers. “Jay had contacted me before anyone else. Every time I talked to him on the phone he was really friendly and nice, which relaxed me. I was nervous because I’m the oldest in my family and we were going through the whole recruiting thing for the first time, which was really tough. He made it easy.”

You know the old story. Student comes to Williamsburg and falls in love with the gorgeous campus. Right? Wrong.

“I came and visited the school for an unofficial visit in the spring of my junior year and I hated it,” Sweet said with irony. “The weather was miserable, I didn’t like the campus and I felt for sure I was going to go to Columbia. Then I came for my official visit and I had so much fun with the girls on the team. This time it was beautiful weather. I loved it and two days later I told Jay I was going to commit.

“My parents and I definitely put academics first, so that narrowed it down significantly. I never even scheduled a visit to Columbia.”

Sweet clearly loves William & Mary. The English major is getting the academics that are so important to her, and she has a strong connection with her fellow teammates. Golf presents tricky dynamics, as it arguably has the most individual emphasis of any “team” sport. Yet Sweet is quick to embrace a rapidly improving women’s golf team that recorded two top 4 finishes in their first three events of 2010.

“In the end, it honestly is an individual sport and it’s tough to reconcile. But everyone on the team bonds really well together. Where our idea of being one team comes from is in practice, where we really help each other out to try and improve. For instance if someone is working on a swing change, I’ll go watch them and tell them if they’re doing it correctly,” Sweet describes. “They’ll do the same for me.

“If someone needs help working on their game, we’re really open to helping each other. When it comes to tournaments, we’re all pulling for each other. I definitely want everyone to play well and everyone is cheering for everyone else. It’s really positive.

“When you’re out on the course, obviously you’re thinking about yourself- which is important because in order to help the team you have to play well. But we all have common goals of winning tournaments and going to the NCAAs for the first time. Those all end up working together. We’ve been doing so much better and honestly I feel our potential this year is just as good if not better than last year’s.”

Off the course, Sweet is an avid reader, movie buff and Washington sports fan. The Bowie, MD native is also close to her family.

As an upperclassman now, thoughts of life post-DOG Street do trickle into Sweet’s mind. “One of my options is going to law school, but nothing is concrete,” she says. “The idea of going pro- I’ve been entertaining that ever since I’ve been playing golf. When you’re really competitive in playing a sport, you always have that in the back of your mind that that is something you’d like to do. But everything is open to me right now- it’s scary and exciting at the same time.”
 

Tribe Coaching Tree has Deep NFL Roots

08/12/2010

By Don Leypoldt ‘96

On the surface, it’s surprising- maybe even shocking- that an undersized, academically minded FCS school would produce three NFL head coaches or coordinators.

But given William & Mary’s sterling on-field legacy and off-the-gridiron propensity for teaching excellence, having three graduates in such lofty positions shouldn’t be so surprising.

Mike Tomlin ’94 receives the lion’s share of headlines- deservedly so.  As the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tomlin won Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.

Meanwhile, Dan Henning ’64 and Sean McDermott ’97 spend many of their waking hours trying to stop Tomlin…or whichever opponent crosses their path.

Former William & Mary quarterback Henning coordinates the offense for the Miami Dolphins, ex-Tribe safety McDermott is defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The two coordinators recently took a break from training camp to talk about their careers.

+                         +                                       +

Things didn’t go as planned for Sean McDermott.

The suburban Philadelphia native was originally going to use grappling to pay for college.

“I was really a two sport athlete in high school- football and wrestling.  From a wrestling standpoint, I was probably more recruited coming out of high school but I had made the decision to play football,” McDermott recalls.

“I took a trip in the spring with my Dad down to Campus and on the way out, we stopped at what used to be a gas station (now Wawa) on Richmond Road.  I just had a feeling that this was the place for me.  I made a phone call from that gas station to the wrestling coach at UVa and then when I got home I made calls to the wrestling coach at Penn State and the football coach at West Point.  I told them I was going to walk on (here).  They thought I was crazy.  But when you have the feeling on what is the right place for you, it is hard to ignore that gut instinct.”

McDermott helped lead the Tribe to a 1996 Yankee Conference title while earning an All-Conference nod as a safety in 1997.  He picked up two Academic All-Conference accolades, validating that gut instinct.

This background set him up perfectly for a job at….a Big Four accounting firm.

McDermott had some family connections to the Philadelphia Eagles’ front office and landed a summer internship with them after his junior year.  “I could live at home, train at the Eagles’ facility and get my foot in the door into the business side of sports,” he pointed out.  “At the time, I didn’t realize that not only was I learning all aspects of the business but, more importantly, building relationships.

“From there, I returned to campus in my senior season, interviewed with a couple of financial firms and accepted a job with them.”

Auditing and budgeting in Corporate America would have to wait.  Tribe coach Jimmye Laycock offered McDermott a graduate assistantship for the 1998 season; McDermott’s firm agreed to push back his start date.  “As the Good Lord would have it,” McDermott chuckles, “here I sit and I still haven’t worked a day for (that firm).”

Instead, McDermott has one of the most prestigious jobs in sports.  The Eagles ranked in the top dozen in total defense during his first year as defensive coordinator.

With his smarts, work ethic and communications skills, McDermott is a tremendous NFL head coaching prospect.

That’s a bummer that the plan didn’t work out, huh?

The Finance major used the aforementioned relationships to become an assistant to Eagle head coach Andy Reid.  McDermott’s responsibilities gradually increased from quality control coach, to the secondary and safeties coach from 2004 to 2006, to the linebackers coach in ’07 and running the secondary in 2008.  The fundamentals that he learned at William & Mary helped him make an impact in professional football.

“When I got to the NFL, I thought ‘Holy Smokes, I’m going to be coaching folks from Florida State, Nebraska, Notre Dame…the big name schools.’  I was very surprised at how much I knew in terms of fundamentals of the game,” said McDermott.  “That is what makes people successful: teaching fundamentals.”

“During a six year span from 2003 to 2008,” states the Eagles’ media guide, “one of (McDermott’s) position group’s players was the most productive player on the entire defense for five of those years.”

“In the NFL- at any level really- there are three important facets to being a coach,” believes McDermott.  “Number one is understanding your personnel, number two is being at the forefront of your scheme and the schemes that are going on in the NFL and number three is being fundamentally and technically sound in what you’re teaching.

“If you can do all three of those well, you’re on your way.  I find that the real challenge for all of us- myself included- is to be at the top in all three areas.”

Another challenge is the taxing lifestyle of NFL coaches.  “During the regular season, I sleep in the office probably 3 or 4 nights a week and when I’m not sleeping here, I’m keeping long hours,” McDermott stated.  “A lot of the credit obviously has to go to the sacrifices that my family makes in not seeing me.  They do a heck of a job in supporting me.”

While McDermott has quickly risen through the coaching ranks on his own merit, he clearly has benefited from his exposure at William & Mary.

“Coach Laycock runs a very classy program down in W&M, very similar to many of the professional teams in terms of his approach to the game both on and off the field.  ’Student-athlete’ is exactly what it sounds like,” McDermott offered.  “There are no cutting corners.  He challenges you and the school challenges you to balance out the academics and the athletics at the same time.

“My transition to the NFL from a coaching standpoint was certainly helped by having been at William & Mary for five years as a player then one year as a coach.”

+                         +                                       +

His business card says “Offensive Coordinator” but at heart Dan Henning is- and always will be- a teacher.

Henning teaches football and has done so for over 40 years, 31 of them in the NFL.  He has been a head coach for the Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers and Boston College.  He won two Super Bowls with Joe Gibbs as a Redskins assistant, and advanced to a third in 2003 as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator.  He was worked under Don Shula and Marv Levy, to name two other Canton-inducted bosses besides Gibbs.

Henning enters his third year as the Miami Dolphins’ offensive coordinator.  The Fish averaged over 345 yards of total offense- 12th in the NFL- in Henning’s inaugural 2008 season.  It was Miami’s highest ranking in over a decade.  That same year was also the first season since 1995 that the Dolphins sent multiple offensive players to the Pro Bowl.

While that resume might not sound the same as a professor's, the instruction and teaching elements in Henning's job are just as strong.

“I’ve always enjoyed the teaching and strategy of football.  What we have in football- whether it be at the high school, college or pro level- is we build our own syllabus.  We write our own book, we do our own teaching and we’re responsible for our own results,” Henning explained.

“I had one professor at a university- I won’t mention which one it was- ask me ‘How come the football coaches at this university get paid so much more than the professors?’  I said, ‘The difference is that when your students don’t do well, you flunk them and get rid of them.  When my students don’t do well, they flunk me and get rid of me.’  We are directly responsible for creating an effort and a result that is commiserate with the talent that we have.”

Henning continued, “You have all of the options open to you.  You’re not locked into a syllabus.  You determine how you’re going to implement it, how you’re going to practice it and you can move the chips around anywhere you want to.  It’s a very exciting chance to use the teaching skills and motivational skills that we learned when we were in school.”

The school that Henning first set foot on in September 1960 was a little different than the one between Richmond and Jamestown Roads now.  William & Mary had about 1,600 students and yet played a powerhouse Division 1 football schedule.

But the emphasis on teaching and academic standards hasn’t wavered since 1693.

“We still use all of the principles and all of the background that we learned in College,” as Henning cited staffers like Howard Smith and Joe Agee (“like the DI in Full Metal Jacket”, Henning recalled.  “He’d make you sweat bullets”) as strong personal influences.  “I went to William & Mary, got into Education and learned how to teach there with those men.

“Now that we’re on this level (NFL), we get these high priced players. But it doesn’t matter how much money they’re making, if they realize that you can help them they’re all ears.  They’ll show you respect for what you can do for them.  We still do that on a regular basis.”

Henning quarterbacked St. Francis, the largest parochial school in New York City at the time.  He originally accepted, then turned down, an appointment with the Naval Academy.  A high school teammate who went to William & Mary told the Indian coaches about Henning and they offered him a scholarship sight unseen.  Henning accepted without ever setting foot in Williamsburg.

Good thing too.  Henning would have had to battle a fellow named Roger Staubach for playing time at Annapolis.  "We always say in my family that he would have come a year later than me and he would have had a tough time," Henning laughed.  "I’ve talked to Roger about that over the years."

The father of five and grandfather of 11, Henning doesn’t play favorites…but daughter Mary K. is a member of the Class of 1983.

“When we go around to here, there and everywhere- and I have been all around the country in my profession,” Henning observed, “everybody thinks very highly of William & Mary when it comes up.  They love to go there.  They love to talk about the experiences they had when they played there.  The beauty of the stadium.  We get our dose of pride as we go through.

Henning has returned to campus for several Halls of Fame inductions.  Despite his arduous occupation, he keeps tabs on his alma mater.  “Jimmye has done a fabulous job.  He has had a number of coaches that have gone on to work for different places.  It makes you proud when people talk about William & Mary football as being an outstanding program on that level, and Jimmye had been responsible for that,” Henning feels.

Henning also keeps tabs on a number of Tribe classmates.  “You look back and you see people that you went to school with who moved on and became efficient, effective, consistent people in the community,” he noted.  “You feel a sense of pride both with them and the education that we got there.”

 

Celebration of Women's Athletics a Success

07/13/2010

Click HERE for photos and video from the weekend.

The Celebration of Women’s Athletics was held on May 1, 2010 on the campus of William and Mary.  Many former coaches and female athletes, members of the community, and supporters of William and Mary’s women’s sport programs were invited to attend the inaugural three-day event. A welcome reception was held on Friday evening at McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center and a special recognition brunch honoring Millie West was hosted at Alan B. Miller Hall, in William and Mary’s Mason School of Business. Over 200 guests, including Joseph Plumeri of New York and Betsy Nagelsen McCormack of Florida, attended the brunch to honor the former Assistant Athletic Director, curator of the ITA, and current Director of Special Projects  and to thank Millie  for her 50 years of service to William and Mary Athletics.

The event culminated with the presentation of an endowment established in Millie’s name to support all Olympic Sport Coaches and changing the name of the outdoor tennis facilities on campus to The Millie B. West Tennis Complex.  Currently, this endowment has raised over $500,000 to help financially support salaries of all coaches at WM. Those interested in contributing to this endowment need to contact Jean Beall at WM Tribe Club office at (757) 221-1335.

On Saturday evening, a fun filled Casino Night capped off the weekend celebration.  Along with a D.J. and dance floor, attendees played poker, blackjack and craps to raise support for William and Mary women’s athletic programs and for the chance to win prizes donated by the teams.  

The Celebration of Women’s Athletics will be held next year on April 29 and 30.

 

Talkin' Baseball

Ever since his July 2004 debut, Harris has not only stuck but been a strong contributor at the Major League level. Hopefully Guez, Stampone and other Tribe farmhands join him soon. In the meantime, take time out this summer to cheer them on and follow their journey.

Four fulfill their promise as players, people

William & Mary athletics redefined success in 2009-2010.

The football team finished third nationally and produced two All-Americans, both drafted into the NFL. Basketball enjoyed its best season in 50 years, while golf produced its finest finish in 25 years. Thanks to All-American Jon Grey, cross-country finished a best-ever fifth in the NCAA championship. Soccer produced All-American Andrew Hoxie, the 37th player taken in the Major League Soccer draft. Men gymnasts won nine All-American honors at the national championships and produced an all-around national champion in Derek Gygax.

Women’s cross-country won a seventh consecutive Colonial Athletic Association title behind All-American Emily Anderson. Golfer Morgan Stepanek set a school record for strokes per round. Gymnast Teenie Beck tied for second in all-around at the USAG Collegiate Nationals. All-American Emily Johnson led lacrosse into the nation’s top 20. Swimmer Katie Radloff finished her career with 19 CAA championships and two swimmer-of-the-year awards.

Team by team, the list of accomplishments could go on and on. But, at William & Mary, wins and losses never tell the whole story of the athletics program. There is another important piece to what makes a Tribe athlete so unique in the world of big-time college athletics.

A record 76 athletes earned Provost Awards, which require freshmen to compile a 3.75 grade-point average in their first semester, and sophomores, juniors and seniors to carry at least a 3.5. The graduation rate among scholarship athletes continues at 95 percent, 16 points above the national average.

“This just proves that you can have a good academic institution that’s fulfilling its mission and you can have a good athletic program without selling your soul,” Director of Athletics Terry Driscoll said. “We are a very strong academic institution . . . . Unlike a lot of other schools, people know who we are. There’s a segment of the (high school student) population that this program attracts from the get-go. If we did not have the high quality of excellent academics, balanced by exciting, successful, competitive athletics, we would not attract them.”

Four students stand out among the many who truly epitomize the slogan “William & Mary: Where athletes are scholars.” They embody the College’s commitment to diversity, local and international civic engagement, and producing graduates who step into the real world and immediately make their mark. In short, they are what separates the W&M student-athlete from all the rest.

The sight-unseen foreigner

At age 18, Nat Baako, ’11, had a difficult decision to make. He could stay home and play professional soccer in Ghana, or say goodbye to the game and go to college. Then his youth soccer coach told him there was another solution: Attend college in the United States and do both.

Without benefit of preparation, Baako took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and did so well that when his coach phoned Tribe soccer coach Chris Norris, Baako already had the academic credentials to get in. Norris took him sight-unseen.

“I’m here because of somebody else’s trust in me,” Baako said.

He justified that trust. In three seasons, Baako has twice been named first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association. While leaving home for a country where he knew no one wasn’t easy, Baako says the coaches and teammates did all they could to help with the transition.

“I remember our first dinner after practice my first day,” he said. “We went out to dinner and they were cracking jokes and laughing. I was just there. The humor wasn’t there for me. Then and there, they decided to tell me ‘This is why this is funny.’ I got the basics of what they were saying . . . .  Some seniors sat me down to tell me what was going on. I was aware from Day 1 what to expect.

“I’m most proud of the adjustments that I had to make . . . from professors’ accents, which for me were accents because I’m not from here, to social life, soccer, the pace of it, and I had just about a week to do all of that. . . I kept my head up and kept going.”

Named his high school’s best Business Accounting and mathematics student from 2003-2005, Baako is a Finance major at W&M. He spent the spring, 2010, semester studying at the University of Manchester Business School in England – not coincidentally, the home of his favorite soccer team, Manchester United.

“The whole trip has been one of the best times of my life,” he wrote from England. “I have had a lot of time to reflect on my life . . . It has been great, especially having the opportunity to fit all of this experience in my four-year program at W&M.”

Baako has no trouble expressing what makes athletics at W&M unique among all colleges.

“Once you get into any program, you automatically become part of a family,” he said. “You compete for as many years as you have, but when you leave, you’re still part of the family. . .

“It’s very different. I thought I’d be here for four years and then go on. (But) I have come to know a lot of alumni, not only through soccer, but through the other programs. I e-mail them, and they are friends to me . . . . The program never leaves you, and hopefully, you never leave the program.”

The sports agent of the future

Ragini Acharya, ’10, entered William & Mary as a 5-star tennis recruit. The United States Tennis Association ranked her fourth nationally among under-18 players. Georgia Tech, Northwestern, the University of Virginia, and Georgetown fought the College for her services.

Four years after coming to Williamsburg, Acharya has crafted a legacy superior in every way. Selected first-team All-CAA three times, and second team once, Acharya finished her career with 102 victories, ninth-most in school history. As the conference freshman of the year, she won 87 percent of her matches, including 27 straight singles titles, and finished Number 1 among Eastern Region tennis players.

The College named her the 2009 Barksdale Award winner, which goes to the female student-athlete who carries a minimum 3.25 grade-point average. Acharya’s fluctuated between 3.6 and 3.8. Those figures, combined with her athletic achievements, made her selection easy to justify.

But Acharya also took advantage of one of the myriad opportunities offered by W&M, and wound up with an internship with international marketing giant Octagon Sports between her junior and senior years. It’s helped convince her to become a sports attorney.

“I found a program called ‘University of Dreams’ through the Career Center,” she recalled. “They help you find internships throughout the country . . . (At Octagon), I worked in the tennis division. I did presentations for potential athletes, presentations for current clients we wanted to present to Adidas or Nike, I worked with other interns, and did a lot of research on who we should recruit, up and coming players. I also got to look at contract negotiations, and I love the idea of going into the law and sports.”

Acharya, who received a B.A. in Economics, has been fully involved in the W&M lifestyle. She served as a member of the student-athletic advisory committee, which regularly pulls together athletes from all different sports to discuss public service projects such as food drives for the hungry at Thanksgiving and Easter, clothing collections for earthquake victims, and a wheelchair tennis tournament to benefit a foundation for wheelchair bound.

The involvement from athletes in every sport is one of countless attributes that make W&M unique.

“You’re going to compete for an institution that is one of the finest in the nation,” Acharya said. “You’re getting to meet other athletes just as serious about their athletics as they are about their academics. You’re getting to meet first-rate coaches, and a first-rate athletic support system in W&M Hall that is so helpful in every aspect of your life, whether it’s choosing classes or choosing equipment or anything. There’s no reason why they can’t succeed athletically and academically.”

Called to be a professional

The man on the other end of the phone said he worked for the Indianapolis Colts, National Football League powerhouse and participant in Super Bowl XLIV last February.

Was David Caldwell interested in joining the organization?

Caldwell signed a free-agent contract with the defending AFC champion, the fifth member of the Class of 2010 wooed into professional football.

At 5-11, 212 pounds, he fits the Colts’ profile for the safety position, a spot that Caldwell played with distinction for the Tribe. A 2009 first-team all-conference selection, Caldwell led the Tribe in tackles his last two seasons, and his 288 total tackles ranked among the top-50 of all active college football players.

But Caldwell, who received a B.B.A. in Finance, will tell you that he received as much as he gave at W&M, sometimes from unexpected sources.

Todd Mooradian, an associate professor in the School of Business, sent a “blind” e-mail to the Chief Executive Officer of Smithfield Foods recommending Caldwell for a summer internship.

Within a day, Smithfield e-mailed Caldwell asking him to come to their offices. He thought he was going for an interview. He was wrong.

“They basically said, ‘No, you have the job, let us know when you can start work,’ ” Caldwell said. “It was great.”

Following high school in New Jersey, Caldwell attended a year of prep school. It wasn’t to hone his grades, but to polish his football resume a bit. The more he heard about W&M, the more it appealed to him.

“I wanted to challenge myself academically and athletically,” he said. “I feel like William & Mary is one of the few schools that can do both.”

Four years later, Caldwell has been an integral part of a football team that advanced to the NCAA national semifinals, and is regularly ranked in the top 20. It also has an established pipeline to the NFL in coaches Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Colts defensive backs coach Alan Williams, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning, and players like Darren Sharper, Derek Cox and others.

“That’s what makes these William & Mary athletes unique,” Caldwell said. “We can get it done in the classroom with a rigorous class schedule. A lot of other schools, I talk to their guys and they’re not necessarily doing all of the things that we’re doing every day. They’re not studying for tests, heading to the library and then competing for national championship on the field.

“We’re doing it – and not just for football. We’ve been highly competitive in a lot of sports.”

The Renaissance Woman

Brielle Paolini, ’10, has always wanted to experience it all.

In four years at William & Mary, she came close.

She was a member of the women’s golf team, and the first National Golf Coaches Association Scholar All-American in school history. She helped in the campus fight against cancer and AIDS. She was a Monroe Scholar who studied digital photography one summer in Italy. A certified yoga instructor. Goldwater Scholar. Hospital volunteer. Phi Beta Kappa. Provost Award winner.

Of which is she most proud?

“I’m most proud of being able to do all of those things,” she said, “and most proud of being able to balance high-level academics with a very hectic golf schedule. There’s a fine line between both of those.”

Paolini, from Virginia Beach, didn’t just belong to the golf team. She competed in 85 percent of the Tribe’s matches, twice finished in the top-20 of tournaments, shot a career-low 75, and seemed to relish the physical and mental grind that college golf often becomes.

“No question, it’s been tough; golf is a very difficult sport,” she said. “When you play 18 holes (with round-trip travel, warm-ups, etc.), it can easily take up nine hours. We end up putting in a lot more time than other people. Golf is also at the top of the physical pyramid. You have to have strength, you have to have endurance, you have to have flexibility, and you have to be good at all of those things in order to compete at the top. You need to do that training outside of the course. It becomes pretty difficult not only to balance your physical training and your golf training, but schoolwork, too.”

Having achieved a B.S. in Neuroscience, Paolini is headed to Wake Forest for graduate school. She’ll miss the golf competition within the team and within the CAA, which was everything she could have asked for.

“We don’t just have five strong players; we have 10,” she said. “It’s a great team. The girls on the team are my best friends, and I’ve been completely blessed to have them. There are other students on campus with whom I have fun, artsy relationships with, ones that have grown over the years. I’ve been really blessed that friendships have fallen into my lap so I didn’t have to necessarily go out and seek them out.”

Despite spending inordinate amounts of time on school and golf, Paolini also immersed herself in the community spirit that pervades W&M. After her father was diagnosed with thyroid cancer (he is in remission), she joined the campus Relay for Life as a committee chairperson.

“I came back to campus and I wanted to do something to give back to the cancer community,” she explained. “Honestly, it was really fun. I put together the opening and closing ceremonies, the music, the speakers, the survivors who had come to speak (about their experiences) and set the tone for the evening.”

With W&M being such a large part of the relatively small Williamsburg community, Paolini says that getting students involved with matters outside the campus is a priority, and one of the many things she treasures about the College.

“All of my friends do something for the community, give back in some sort of way,” she said. “It’s very much a part of campus life.”

Athletes, in particular, feel the calling.

“I know that the baseball team and the football team get together and go out into the community on weekends together,” she said. “We’re very tied to Williamsburg. We have a huge quest to give back. When everyone’s doing it, it becomes kind of peer pressure -- but in a wonderful way. You want to get involved and be part of it.”

The traditional goal of a liberal arts university such as W&M is to help students prepare to live worthy lives as humans and as citizens, as distinct from preparing them for careers or professions or positions. Paolini is convinced that the College meets that goal brilliantly.

“William & Mary provides an environment for us to be able to pursue many interests,” she said. “We’re not just athletes. We’re not just students. We’re able to go out into the community and give back, while being able to pursue things like art and photography. William & Mary makes it possible for us to do all of these things at a very, very high level. We can really pursue everything we’re interested in as passionately as we want. I think that makes us different.”

Green, Gold…and Grey

05/12/2010

By Don Leypoldt ‘96

“Every silver lining’s got a touch of Grey,” - Jerry Garcia.

Or in the case of William & Mary track, a gold lining.  Or bronze lining.

Quite simply, the Tribe harriers are in the midst of one of its greatest seasons ever - a bold statement seeing as the program has a decorated history at the College.  Current Tribe Head Men’s Track and Field and Cross Country Coach, Alex Gibby, has done yeomen’s work in maintaining this great tradition; his charges had accumulated five All-American honors in his previous six years at the helm of the program entering this season.

It will be at least nine when the 2010 track season is in the books - thanks in large part to the efforts of senior distance ace Jon Grey.

A Lancaster, Pa., native, Grey started his career as a promising distance runner for Oklahoma.  But he decided that he’d “Sooner” leave the Big 12 for Williamsburg and something closer to home.  Grey transferred after his sophomore year.  OU released the kinesiology major from his scholarship so Grey could start to compete immediately for the Tribe.

Last year, Grey earned All-East honors after finishing second in the prestigious IC4A meet with a sub-14:16 Indoor 5,000 meters.  The efforts were just a warm up act for the Outdoor season.  Grey became the first athlete to ever win both the 5,000m and the 10,000m at the CAA Championships.  His 10,000m time of 30:06.17 set a CAA record while his 14:11.91 “only” clocked the second best time in conference history.

The times helped him earn an invite to the NCAA Championships, where he finished 20th in the 10,000m.

“Training under Coach Gibby was a huge part of the improvement,” Grey believes.  “Once I came in during the fall of my junior year, I had some growing up (to do).  I had to grow into the program.  I was going to a new school.”

The transition “wasn’t as smooth as I hoped for,” Grey remembers, but once he got adjusted to life just off of D.O.G Street, “I was built more into the program.  I got used to the mileage because it is a much more high mileage program here.  That has been the whole driving force - it has been a long term plan by Coach Gibby.”

“Jon’s improvements at W&M have been impressive,” Gibby observed, “and can be placed on both his tremendous work ethic and the priority he places on his running.”

Their plan paid dividends.  Grey’s - and the Tribe’s - 2009-10 seasons have been remarkable.

Starting in late November, Grey and his cross country teammates Patterson Wilhelm and Colin Leak all placed in the top 40 at the NCAA Cross-Country Championship meet in Terre Haute, Ind., thus earning All-American certificates.  Grey headlined the Tribe’s stellar fifth-place team finish by placing 17th overall as an individual.

Moving to the indoor season, Grey ran a blistering 13:46.12, good enough for fifth place in the NCAA 5,000m Championships.  The time earned Grey his second All-American nod in four months - and stands as the second fastest indoor 5,000m mark recorded at the College.

While Grey already has the 5,000m All-American certificate in his pocket for this year, the 10,000m may well prove to be his better event.  At the recent Mt. SAC Relays, Grey won the 10,000m title in a career-best 28:40.33, the third fastest time in Tribe history.  He won the race by over 12 seconds; the time currently ranks fourth in the nation and second in the East region.  Another return trip to the NCAAs seems to be a safe bet.

Grey compared the three different track seasons.  “Cross Country and Outdoor track are definitely my two favorites and the bigger focus of our program.  Indoor is more of a placeholder for Outdoors.

“In Cross Country, we use our own course that we have out at Eastern State.  We do almost all of our training exclusively out there.  Once we switch over to Outdoor track, we’re on the track the whole time.  There are a variety of training differences between the two.”

An academic senior, Grey has one more year of indoor and outdoor track eligibility remaining.  It gives him another season to try and accomplish some lofty- yet reachable- goals.

“I probably won’t run at the IC4A outdoors in May, so we can build a better training block before heading into Regionals, Nationals and then USAs,” Grey offered, “which we’re hoping to run assuming I’m still moving forward.

“I’ve already outlined some goals for next year assuming I don’t get them this year, such as trying to rewrite some of the record books,” he continued.  “I’ve just missed a couple of them.  Indoors, I just missed the 5K and I think I have a legitimate shot at the 3K if I were in the right race.

“And in Outdoors, definitely get the 10,000 meter if I don’t get it this year.  That is one thing I’d really like to get before I graduate,” Grey concluded.

Those records may be in jeopardy as Grey adds another year of strength and conditioning.

“I’ll focus on trying to duplicate this season again and then eventually- hopefully- taking a shot at the Olympic Trials, and see where it goes from there,” Grey noted.  “Definitely professional running would, hopefully, be in my future assuming the right cards fall into place.”

“Whatever Jon has done so far is merely the tip of iceberg,” Gibby believes.  “While his performances have been steadily improving, the background work that he has established over the last 20 months will only continue to allow him to progress to even greater heights.

“Jon is on the verge of becoming not just another All-American, but an outstanding collegiate and national-level distance runner.”

Fortunately, the Green and Gold get one more season of Grey before the professional possibilities open up.  If things keep progressing, rival CAA runners may not be singing Jerry Garcia but rather Billy Joel - “Shades of Grey are All that I Find”- as they look at the winner’s podium.



A Tip of the Mortarboard:

William & Mary salutes two special athletes who will graduate in early May.  Katie Radloff (Swimming) and Derek Gygax (Gymnastics) may not have participated in the Tribe’s highest profile sports, but they leave Williamsburg as two of the best in school history.

Radloff, a freestylist and back stroker, already accumulated a stellar prep resume at Yorktown High in Arlington, VA.  She held the Virginia state record in the 200 free relay and earned four All-American nods.

It didn’t take long to make her CAA competitors take notice.  As a freshman Radloff was selected as the CAA Swimmer of the Year and named to the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major All-America team.  Radloff qualified for the NCAA Championships in three individual free events, becoming just the second Tribe swimmer invited to the NCAAs.

The next year, Radloff became the first swimmer in school history compete in the United States Olympic Trials.

As a junior, Radloff finished in the top 25 in the 100 freestyle.  She won six golds at the CAA Championships, where here times in the 50 (22.30), 100 (48.48) and 200 frees (1:47.21) were new CAA records.

Radloff ends her career with five all-conference selections as a senior and top 30 finishes in the NCAA Championships 50 and 100 free.  In addition to her degree in kinesiology, Radloff leaves William & Mary with four individual school records, six CAA records and more victories (96) than any swimmer in Tribe history.

The Tribe’s gymnastic squad ended the regular season ranked 14th nationally, thanks to co-captain Gygax’s efforts.  The biology major finished in the top 20 in the All-Around at the NCAA Championships, missing All-American status by just a few slots.

But Gygax snared his share of All-American accolades during his Tribe career.  As a junior, he won all around title at last year’s USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships, the same venue where he also snagged All-American honors on pommel horse, vaulting and high bar.

At the Navy Open, which kicked off the 2010 season, Gygax earned the Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League (EIGL) Gymnast of the Week.

Gygax will end his career as one of just six gymnasts in Tribe history to be named a finalist for the Nissen-Emery award, which is given to the nation’s top senior male gymnast.

The Tribe Club heartily congratulates Katie, Derek and all of their classmates for their outstanding contributions to the Green and Gold in the sporting arena, and their diligence in earning a William & Mary diploma while in the classroom!


 


 

'Get me the Griffin': William & Mary Announces New Mascot

04/07/2010

by Brian Whitson, University Relations

WILLIAMSBURG - There is a new, powerful guardian of the nation's second oldest institution of higher education. The College of William & Mary announced Tuesday that its new mascot, the Griffin - a mythical creature with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion - has arrived on the Williamsburg campus.

"The Griffin has joined the Tribe," said William & Mary President Taylor Reveley, who unveiled the new mascot Tuesday during a campus-wide event in William & Mary Hall's Kaplan Arena. "With its arrival, we now have a mascot that unites strength with intelligence, recalls our royal origins, and speaks to our deep roots in American history."

"After receiving a strong recommendation from the Mascot Search Committee and then seeing the idea prove itself during due diligence, I told the committee -- Get me the Griffin," Reveley said.

Last year Reveley appointed a committee of alumni, students, faculty and staff to coordinate the mascot selection process. The Tribe nickname remains but the committee's charge was to find a mascot that could serve as a unifying, fun figure on campus. And the new mascot had to look good on T-Shirts and in costume. The Griffin was one of five finalists (the others included the King and Queen, the Phoenix, a Pug and the Wren) announced in December by the Mascot Search Committee, which was chaired Terry Driscoll, director of athletics.

Tuesday's announcement has been anticipated for weeks. During a month-long public feedback period on the five mascot finalists, more than 11,000 people completed the mascot survey and the committee reviewed more than 22,000 mascot comments. In addition, a mascot website, www.wm.edu/mascot, received more than 47,500 visitors. The committee also used virtually every means of communication during the process, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and a special mascot blog. The committee even heard from Colonel Ebirt, a green blob who retired his tri-cornered hat in 2005 after a brief, four-year run as the unofficial Tribe mascot. Ebirt (Tribe spelled backward) developed his own Facebook page and was featured in a YouTube video where he assured Tribe faithful that he had no plans to leave his relaxed and restful retirement.

The committee, Driscoll said, looked for a symbol that is as compelling and as unique as the university. It was important to find a symbol that symbolizes the strength and intelligence that are the hallmark of the William & Mary athletic program, he added. With the head of a bald eagle and the body of a lion, the mythical creature, like William & Mary, also links the history and heritage of the United States and Great Britain. The bald eagle is the national symbol of the United States and William & Mary is the alma mater of a nation. The lion represents the English Monarchy. In 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II created the College by Royal Charter.

"We considered the best symbol to help represent the academic and athletic excellence of our sports teams," Driscoll said. "When you put it all together -- the grace, agility, intelligence and strength -- the Griffin really embodies everything we were looking for in a mascot."

Feeling Drafty: A Conversation with All-American Adrian Tracy

04/02/2010

By Don Leypoldt ‘96

It took all season - the first game of the FCS playoffs specifically - but they finally figured out how to stop senior Adrian Tracy.

Opposing offensive coordinators spent all of 2009 failing miserably at containing the 6’3”, 248 pound defensive end.  Tracy earned All-American honors from five different media outlets.  The Sterling, VA native racked up 22 tackles for loss last season, ranking seventh best in the country.  Tracy’s 31 career quarterback sacks are a Tribe record and placed third among all active players.  No William & Mary player in history ever started more games than Tracy (46).

The end result was a W&M defense coordinated by Bob Shoop but that might as well have been coached by British philosopher Thomas Hobbes: They were nasty….brutish…and opponents’ gains were short.

“We felt 2009 was going to be a special season toward the end of the 2008 season.  (Middle linebacker Josh) Rutter, (Cornerback) Derek (Cox) and the seniors who were leaving said that we had all of the tools to be successful and to build on what they had set,” Tracy recalls.  “We had a 7-4 record, the best record since I had been here.

“That summer, we had a lot of people stay down here and put in big work.  We had awesome leadership from our captains and our non-captains.  We really came together.  A lot of the intangibles were off the field in terms of guys getting together to play video games, play cards, cook and just be around each other.  Getting a greater relationship and a greater tie.  That definitely played out on the field, especially when we were in situations that required us to lean on each other.”

The Tribe had the best rushing defense in the country and ranked second best in both total and scoring defense.  These efforts helped propel them to their second National Semi-Finals in six years.

So it is no stretch to think of Tracy as one of the best players on what could have easily been the best defense in Tribe history.

Yet here Tracy stood, 45 minutes after the Tribe blanked Weber State 38-0 in the first round of the FCS playoffs, stopped dead in his tracks outside the Laycock Center by a horde of pre-teen autograph hounds.

While a signature from a future NFL player would be nice, most of the pack eyed the true prize that Tracy held in his arm: his post-game pizza.

Tracy charitably broke open the box and gave away slices to the boys.  When they had dispersed, he stared at the one remaining solitary slice.

“Would anyone like this?” he said, offering it to the crowd.

That vignette might be Tracy in a nutshell: good enough to help hold a playoff team to minus 6 yards rushing while gracious enough to accommodate every fan request.

If you noticed that Williamsburg has a smart, physically talented defender with All-American makeup, you aren’t the only one.  Plenty of NFL personnel have noticed too.

“I was no different from anyone growing up.  My favorite player and team were Emmitt Smith and the Dallas Cowboys,” Tracy remembers.  “My Mom was apprehensive about me playing football so I didn’t start until seventh grade.

“I got to William & Mary and realized we did have various ties within the NFL without realizing how strong those ties were- until recently.  Whether its coaches, players or personal relationships between coaches in the NFL and (William & Mary Head) Coach (Jimmye) Laycock.  That was something in our favor.”

The lightly recruited Tracy came to the ‘Burg as a preferred walk-on.  The Potomac Falls High School senior thought he would attend Davidson until a last minute visit to Williamsburg- thanks to Mom’s persuasion- convinced him to call D.O.G Street home.

That lack of a scholarship initially fueled Tracy’s internal drive.  That same internal drive still purrs- just on a slightly different fuel.

“I was definitely focused and driven (then) and that has not changed.  My situation now is no different,” Tracy stated.  “William & Mary is not a football powerhouse - people know us for our academics - but I feel like (our Pro Day) was our platform to showcase that we are smart and athletic individuals who can play at the next level of competition.”

Tracy earned his degree over the winter and has spent the last 2 1/2 months training with Perfect Competition in suburban Miami.  “There were a lot of guys in the past who had aspirations to play at the next level and were training but also had academic obligations at William & Mary,” Tracy noted.  “To balance those two is difficult.”

Having the sheepskin lets him solely focus on NFL preparation.  He describes, “In addition to getting us ready for the 40-yard dash, broad jump, vertical - all of the things we do at the combine and the Pro Days - they are also able to work with us on positionals.  They work with us in terms of footwork, they have various drills that we do.  They put us in situations where we cover a tight end or a running back out of the backfield.”

In February, Tracy became the first William & Mary product in 11 years to receive an invitation to the NFL Draft Combine.  Three weeks prior, he had a commendable performance as an outside linebacker- the position he projects to in the pros- during the Texas v. Nation All-Star game.  Tribe standout DT Sean Lissemore accompanied Tracy to that showcase.

“In getting ready for the Texas vs. Nation games, a lot of scouts whispered in my ear that I would be playing outside linebacker at the next level,” said Tracy.  “I played the Sam (outside linebacker) spot there and it allowed me to get into that frame of mind.

“It is a lot different than playing defensive end.  You’re in a two point stance and in some situations you are required to drop back and cover man-to-man as well as zone areas.  I feel like training, as well as getting coached and exposed at Texas vs. Nation has allowed me to make an easier transition to what it might have been.  But I’m just like anybody else.  I feel like I can always get better and improve at what I need to do at that position and I look forward to doing that, especially at the next level,” he concluded.

“Adrian Tracy looked very good in space as a linebacker after playing defensive end in college. He tackled running backs and receivers adeptly and even took on a fullback to blow up a goal line play,” wrote Chad Reuter on NFLDraftScout.com.

As Wes Bunting scribed in the National Football Post, “Tracy has shown very well. He showcases a good initial burst off the edge with the savvy and body control to set up his counter move and get after the passer.  He’s another one of those small-school pass rushers with some upside as a 3-4 outside linebacker.”

From there, it was off to Indianapolis and the Combine.  He impressed in his drills: logging a sub 4.8 40-yard dash time, 20 reps of 225 pounds at the bench press and a good time in the three cone drill, which measures quickness and agility.  Let Tracy describe his experience first hand:

“The whole combine experience - it was overwhelming.  It was definitely something I was excited about.  It had been a long time since someone from W&M had been invited to the combine and I was fortunate and blessed to do so.

“I feel like the big thing - especially for my being from a small school - was the interview process.  They can see film on you, but they want to see the person who is under the helmet.  The questions…some of them were related to football in terms of your intelligence and what you are required to do, what position you played, what scheme your team ran and questions about different passing situations, different running situations, what you need to improve on.  The basics.  But a lot of them had to do with your personal life and your background information.  Your family.  Parents, brothers, sisters, how you grew up, sports you played in high school, were you involved in extra curricular activities.  Just your journey through football.

”At the end of the day, we’re talented players but we’re going to be the face of the franchise.  We’re going to be representing the Cincinnati Bengals, the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys…whatever team you are selected to, you are going to be the face of that organization.  They want to be represented well.  There are a lot of guys who have the talent on the field and the physical attributes but as far as off the field, they have some question marks.

“I was fortunate enough to have had a mother and a father who put their foot down.  They didn’t let me do the things I wanted to do at school and (at the time) I didn’t know why.  My friends were doing it.  I wished I could have done it.  But being parents and having gone through some things themselves they knew exactly what I needed as a child and they steered me clear of those distractions.  So when coaches come up to me and say ‘Do you have any off the field issues?  Do you have any driving tickets, positive drug tests, any drug tests?’ I can say ‘No’ because I know confidently that I don’t.  I don’t have tickets.  I don’t have drugs, alcohol, kids.  I’m pretty much a straight and narrow guy and I think that is a positive and bonus for me.”

Does Tracy have any idea where he will land on Draft Day?   “No.  And I thought I did,” he replied dramatically.  “You get teams that pop up.  Teams that you feel like there is a possibility to go here, but there is always a curve ball from some team out of the blue who shows a little more interest but not with as much interaction.  So you think ‘Maybe it’s not exactly as easy as I thought it would be.’

“But the NFL is no different from anything else so far as being a business.  People don’t want to show their hand as far as who they are going after.”

In a way, Tracy’s pro destination might resemble his college destination.  “I thought I wanted to be at Davidson but God had another plan for me and things have worked out in my favor.  I’m thankful for that everyday.”

One of 32 NFL organizations will also be thankful on Draft Day, for wisely selecting Tracy’s rare combination of brains, talent and character.

Pflugner Pfirst All-American in Tribe Volleyball History

03/01/2010

By Don Leypoldt ‘96

There is one- and perhaps only one- negative about a college with a 317 year legacy of excellence.

After a while, you start to run out of firsts.

Lindsey Pflugner bucked that trend.  Last December, the American Volleyball Coaches Association named the senior libero as an Honorable Mention All-American.  Until the Sarasota, Florida native’s accolade, no other Tribe volleyballer had ever received All-American recognition.

Pflugner led the CAA- and ranked 16th nationally- by averaging 5.26 digs per set in 2009.  Her 552 digs in 2009 were the second highest in school history.  They helped propel William & Mary to its second straight season of at least 18 wins and earn Pflugner CAA Defensive Player of the Year honors.

The 5’11” chemistry major ranks second in both all-time total digs (1,354) and average digs (3.6 per set) in William & Mary history.

“The liberos really only do three things.  They serve, they pass and they dig,” assessed Tribe head coach Melissa Aldridge Shelton ‘91.  “Lindsey is very good at all of these things.  She is one of our best servers in terms of efficiency, meaning she doesn’t make a lot of errors.  Through out the season she was one of our top two passers in every match.

“And with defense, she had the opportunity to handle a lot of balls.  She did that very, very well.”

Shelton does not point to one defining moment of Pflugner’s season; rather she cites steady excellence.

“She is more of a consistent kid and that is what you want in the libero position,” Shelton explained.  “You want somebody who will always work hard and put their best effort forth because it sets the tone for the team.

“That is definitely what Lindsey does.  She brought an incredible work ethic and an incredible desire to be the best she could be.  It really set an example for all of the younger kids.”

But while Pflugner’s journey has a happy ending, her college career took far more twists and turns than expected.  The highly decorated recruit came to Williamsburg from Riverview High holding her prep school career records for kills and attacks.  In the process, she earned first team All-State honors during her junior and senior years.

And twice, Pflugner posted 23-kill performances during her freshman year with the Tribe.

“She was recruited to play outside hitter which is a position that not always, but typically involves the libero skills in terms of passing and defense.  Lindsey had to make the switch due to some medical concerns,” Shelton explained.  “Her skills were strong in the defensive and passing areas.  She continued to work and fine tune those and got to the point where she was the best defender in the conference.”

So many things can derail a student-athlete: injuries.  Playing time.  The adjustment to school.  Pflugner had to contend with nagging injuries which ultimately ended in a position change.

“Here is a kid who came in as one of our big hitting recruits and that is suddenly taken away from her,” Shelton recalled.  “What are you going to do?  She made the most of it and became our best player.”

Not that the process of morphing from outside hitter to one of the nations’ top liberos didn’t take a lot of work.

“I think part of the drive for Lindsey this year was there was a returning libero in our conference who received a lot of accolades for the past two years,” Shelton believes.  “I think Lindsey took it as her personal, private challenge to beat that girl out.

“It was really interesting to watch the desire that Lindsey had.  So many seniors give up during their senior year.  They know it’s over.  But Lindsey kept plugging away and really had her best matches in November.”

It took patience from Pflugner and Shelton to mutually reign in the conference’s top defender.  Pflugner had to be held out of some early matches and tone down some practices in order to stay healthy.  But both coach and player’s ultimate goal was to peak in November and make the CAA Tournament, which invites just four teams.

Mission accomplished.

“It was challenging at times to keep the long goal in mind and to see the forest through the trees,” Shelton admits.  “There were definitely some matches that I would have wanted her in but we couldn’t put her in.  But we did a good job of keeping that in perspective.”

So good of a job that Pflugner was honored as an All-American.

“For her to make the All-American team is fantastic.  It is a nice accolade for Lindsey and a great way to cap off her career.” Shelton feels.

But Coach Shelton also feels that Pflugner’s process in becoming an All-American- not just getting the award is “the best part of the story.  A lot of other people would have thought ‘Oh, Volleyball’s over.  I don’t want to play anymore’ but she stuck with it, hung in there, worked really hard and dealt with the lemons better than anybody could have.

“By no means could she have trained as hard as she wanted to or do the things she wanted to.  But we really focused in on what she could do and worked within those limitations.  Obviously it worked out extremely well.”
 

31st Annual Anheuser-Busch Colonial Half Marathon and 5k Results Posted

03/01/2010

Below are the award winners for the 31th Annual Colonial Half Marathon and 5K Run held in Williamsburg on Sunday afternoon, February 28, 2010.

The Colonial Half Marathon has been listed by Runners' World as one of the top 100 road races in the United States.  The half marathon course which is somewhat hilly starts on the Campus of William & Mary, followed the Carter's Grove Country Road to a loop in Kings Mill, and returned along the Country Road to finish in William & Mary Hall.  The 5K run wound around the campus of William & Mary and also finished in William & Mary Hall.

Unlike last year when runners experienced sun, clouds, rain and snow, conditions today were perfect for racing; partly cloudy with temperatures in the 50s.

A total of 1180 runners entered the both events, 849 in the Half Marathon and 331 in the 5K.  680 runners completed the Half Marathon in the time allotted (2:45) and 277 runners completed the 5K in the time allotted (45 minutes).  The Half Marathon course was the same course that has been run since the change to the Carter's Grove Country Road course and was run correctly.  This course has been USATF certified VA-08004-RT.  The 5K course around William & Mary is not certified.

The races were conducted and results provided by the Peninsula Track Club.

Lort Botetourt Auction Still On For Tonight!

02/05/2010

McDowell Assisting Off the Court

01/01/2010

By Don Leypoldt

It was a magical year for William & Mary football.  Coach Laycock’s squad reached the national semi-finals and claimed the top ranked defense in all of the FCS.

Some of that pixie dust has apparently floated up the hill from Zable and into William & Mary Hall to infect coach Tony Shaver and the Tribe men’s basketball team.

Unlike H1N1, there is no desire to cure this special virus.

Through December 29th, the Tribe stood at 8-2, having rattled off the second longest win streak in W&M hoops history.  The have been receiving votes in the A.P. poll for the first time in 31 seasons.

Suspicions that this might not be an ordinary year started on opening night, when they scared the heck out of #11 UConn before falling by nine.  You remember UConn, right?  Two national titles in the last 11 years?  The Tribe played them to a standstill.

It then took triple overtime before Harvard- the team which blew out Boston College last season- nipped the Tribe by two.

Then the wins started…

The Tribe beat NCAA Tournament pest and arch-rival Richmond 78-71 on November 19^th.

Nine days later, they shocked Wake Forest 78-68.  This was the quadruple espresso which woke up the nation.  W&M became the first unranked, non-BCS opponent to ever win at Joel Coliseum.  They were the first team of any league to beat Wake at Joel in November.

Experts once thought the sun revolved around the earth too.

“I think it’s been building and we’ve been getting better,” believes Shaver.  “Two years ago, that senior class was the first recruiting class that our staff brought into W&M.  We got to the CAA championship game and did something we had never done before.  We were pretty disappointed with last year,” as the Tribe won only 10 games. 

“Should people be surprised?  If I were a fan, I’d probably be surprised.  I’d say that none of us would be surprised,” responded sophomore swing man Quinn McDowell. 

Three days before Christmas, the Tribe ran the win streak to eight.  They sunk 15 3-pointers in knocking off defending Big South champion Radford 70-68.

Record win streaks.  A.P. votes.  Marquee wins.  This is a special year in Kaplan Arena. 

“Obviously you have to have good players and the right pieces have to fit together,” McDowell assessed.  “I think we had a great offseason and a huge part of that- along with getting stronger and becoming more skilled- were the team chemistry and camaraderie.  That has been talked about a lot but that’s because it’s very true. 

“Last year, there was some sort of disconnect.  This year, guys believe in the system, believe in what we’re doing and really enjoy being around each other.  That just makes things a lot more fun.  On some level, it translates to the court.”

“We’re not completely surprised by what they’re doing and I think the key has been senior leadership,” echoed Shaver.  “Those four seniors- Schneider, McCurdy, Hess and Sumner- have just done a great job in leading our team on the court, off the court.  Their work ethic is so good.  We’re just playing really well together.  Over 66% of our field goals have been assisted, which is a pretty phenomenal stat.  But we have a team willing to make the extra pass.”

It’s nigh impossible then to single out one player.  Guard David Schneider paces the Tribe in scoring, averaging nearly 18 points per game.  Point guard Sean McCurdy- who played his prep ball at legendary St. Anthony’s in North Jersey- is the assist machine. 

6’10” Steven Hess is shooting 59% from the floor and comes off the bench to provide depth.

Forward Danny Sumner is the human iPhone, with a really cool app for everything.  He ranks second on the Tribe in blocks, third in scoring and third in rebounding.

Which brings us to McDowell.  It’s nigh impossible to single out one player.  But we’re going to try.

The suburban Cincinnatian’s 15 points per game are second on the team.  He was the Tribe’s game high scorer three times.

Statistics say that McDowell ranks a distant fourth on the Tribe in assists.  Statistics would be wrong.

Quinn McDowell likely leads the CAA- possibly even the nation- in assisting others. 

“He is a guy with very strong moral fiber.  He has great character.  He is involved with wonderful things outside of school life,” Shaver observed about his Buckeye swingman.  “But there is a toughness about this kid that makes him a special athlete as well.  That is a very rare combination.  You put him on the basketball floor and he doesn’t back down from anybody. 

“He is just a great combination as a person.  He is so involved with the Williamsburg Community Chapel and a Tuesday night Bible study that some of our players are involved in.  With FCA.  He has his hands in everything.” 

Let McDowell, a strong Christian who has taken three mission trips to held the needy in both Mexico and the Gulf Coast, tell his story: 

“My high school gave me a great interest in doing service work.  They really make that a big priority so I was able to get plugged in with that.  I started off with them and became involved just through different opportunities that I have come across such as my church back home or the one I am involved with here.  I’ve really been able to pursue those opportunities because it is in line with what I believe and my faith.  I really believe that that is what I am supposed to be doing.

“We went down to Mexico a couple of years ago.  I went down there twice with my church back home.  There is already a mission in place there so we were going down to serve them…the widows and orphans already at the mission.” 

After going to the Gulf to help repair Katrina damage during his junior year of high school, McDowell became involved with Back2Back Ministries.  According to Back2Back’s mission statement “(we) serve internationally by caring and providing for orphan children and needy people in Monterrey, Mexico…We serve locally through our Impact Ministry, which partners with local churches to equip students to be capable and effective leaders serving their campuses, communities, and the world.”  

McDowell continued, “They have a whole complex on which they run their things through.  They really focus on getting kids out of the cycle of poverty by sending them to school and giving them opportunities that they wouldn’t other wise have.  We were trying to serve them in any way possible whether it is repairing buildings that they house kids in or helping them with the upkeep of their facilities. 

“It got me interested in sustainability and how to help people escape from the position that they have been put in.”

“Quite honestly, it (character) was the most attractive thing about Quinn in the recruiting process,” Shaver commented.  “Yes, we thought he would be a good player.  But the thing that impressed me were his qualities as a person.  I think he is absolutely one of the strongest leaders that I have coached in 30 odd years.

“Playing a college sport doesn’t always allow for the most flexible schedule in terms of being involved with (mission work) but I have been blessed to be able to find some time to fit that work in,” McDowell noted.  “I would like to do a little bit more of it.”

“Honestly, character is a difficult thing to judge sometimes,” confesses Shaver, citing rules and regulations that limit contact with recruits.  “But Quinn is a stellar person.  There isn’t a thing that he doesn’t do well right now.”

Such as converting teammates’ assists on the court.  And piling them off of it.

Christiansen also earned an indoor All-American certificate, by placing sixth at the 1999 event.
 He claimed a pair of CAA Championships at the 800m distance, winning the event in both 1998 and 1999.  He finished his career having earned three All-East and three All-CAA honors. His runner-up performance during the 1997 NCAA Outdoor competition earned him the league’s Track Athlete of the Year award.
An Olympic Trials qualifier at 800m in 2000, Christiansen holds the College’s record for 800m both indoors and outdoors and also was part of the record-holding 4x400m relay both indoors and outdoors.   Indoor-best of 1:47.19 was the ninth-best for a U.S.-born collegiate all-time as of 1999, while his outdoor standard of 1:46.66 ranked ninth on the U.S. list in 1997.

Mike Cook, Football
    Cook ended his career as one of the school’s most successful quarterbacks, as he finished with a career record of 21-7 as a starter, including a 12-5 lifetime mark in conference play.
    He was a two-time first-team all-conference performer (1996 and 1998) and was an All-American in 1998.  That same year, Cook was also a finalist for the Payton Award, which annually honors the FCS (then Division I-AA) Offensive Player of the Year.    
    He was at the controls during the team’s 1996 season, which saw the College win the Atlantic 10 title and advance to the national quarterfinal round of the NCAA Playoffs.  The squad fashioned a then-school record tying 10 wins (vs. 3 losses) and won the Tribe’s second NCAA Playoff game (a 45-6 home win over Jackson State).
    In the record books, Cook graduated first in career touchdown passes (62 – now second); second in all-time passing yards (7,295 – now fourth); second in total offense (7,245 – now fourth); and second in completion percentage (62.1 – now third).
    He still owns two of the top four single best single season passing efforts (3,166 in 1996, third; 3,028 in 1998, fourth).  He threw for 26 TDs in both 1996 and 1998, which ties him for the second best single season effort in school history.
    His career marks would undoubtedly be even more impressive if he hadn’t missed the majority of nine games in his junior season to a major knee injury (an injury he sustained in the season’s second game and returned to play in the finale against Richmond).


Steve Swift, Track and Field/Cross Country
    One of the College’s more consistently outstanding runners, Swift was recently named as one of the 25 greatest cross country runners in the 25-year history of the Colonial Athletic Association.
    Swift earned a pair of All-American honors, with the first coming at the 1991 cross-country championships and the second coming at the 1994 track championships (at the 10,000m distance).
    Swift was recognized as the CAA Athlete of the Year in cross-country two times in his career and was the conference cross-country champion in 1993.   ... During the 1994 season, he also claimed the CAA’s 5,000m title at the league’s outdoor championships.
    Swift continued to pursue distance running after graduation and competed at the 1999 world track championships in the marathon and was a U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon in both 1996 and 2000.

Erica Walsh, Women’s Soccer
    Erica played soccer at the College from 1993-96 and her defense helped lead the Tribe to a record of 57-25-2.  During her years on the team, the College made four NCAA tournament appearances, including making the Elite Eight in 1994.  The Tribe also captured three CAA-titles during Erica’s tenure.
    Erica was named to the All-CAA First Team in both 1995 and 1996, and was also named All-Region in 1996.
    Erica Walsh is currently the head coach of the Penn State women’s soccer team.  Entering her third season this year, Erica has already guided the Nittany Lions to two Big Ten titles and two NCAA appearances.  In January of 2008, Walsh was named as an assistant coach by Pia Sundhage for the U.S. National Team. With Walsh's help and guidance the U.S. team completed its historic run with a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Even sweeter was that Walsh's main responsibility was the U.S. Team's defense, which held fellow world power Brazil scoreless in the gold medal game.    

Brant Weidner, 1980-83, Men’s Basketball
    Weidner played on the squad from the 1980-83 seasons and finished his career ranked ninth on the W&M single season block shot list with 31 in 1983, seventh on the W&M career block shot list with 76, and eighth on the W&M career average block shot list with 0.68 per game. He led the Tribe in rebounding in 1982 (4.9 per game) and 1983 (6.2 per game), led in block shots in 1980 (0.6 per game and 15 total), 1982 (0.9 average and 24 total) and 1983 (1.1 average and 31 total).
    He made First-Team All-ECAC South in 1983, where he helped the team to a first-place 9-0 record in the ECAC South. This 1983 season was the first and only postseason appearance in the National Invitational Tournament. The team that year went 20-9 overall, one of just five teams in school history to amass 20 or more wins.
    Weidner finished his career with 483 rebounds and 773 points in 111 games, averaged 7.0 points and 4.4 rebounds over his career, and boasted a career-high 11.8 points per game as a senior in 1983. The team combined for a 64-48 (.571) record during his career. Weidner was drafted with the 20th pick of the fourth round (90th overall) in the 1983 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs and played for one season with the team.

Da(i)ly Wins Add Up to Yearly Excellence for Tribe Soccer

12/05/2009

By Don Leypoldt ‘96

No rational baseball fan would argue that Len Barker was a better pitcher than Greg Maddux.

With over 350 wins and four Cy Young Awards, Maddux takes his rightful place as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.

Len Barker on the other hand retired with a sub-.500 record, a career ERA much worse than Maddux’s and barely one-quarter of Maddux’s lifetime strikeouts.  But in May 1981, Barker threw a perfect game…something Maddux never did.

Why is Maddux considered “excellent” while Barker is considered pedestrian- despite Barker’s gem?  That’s easy.  There is an element of sustainability that factors into “excellence.”  One perfect game- one flash in the pan- does not qualify as excellence.

The women’s soccer program at William & Mary qualifies as “excellence.”  The program first played in 1981.  The 1982 side earned a record of 8-5-3.  Every year since 1982, the Tribe women footballers have had a winning record.  The 2009 side added to the legacy by turning in a more than respectable 12-7 mark.

28 straight winning seasons.

Wow.  Think about that.

How long ago was 1982?  Olivia Newton-John recorded the number one song in 1982.  The Commodore 64 was released in 1982.  Landon Donovan- arguably the biggest American-born soccer star alive today- was a newborn baby in 1982.  The Dow Jones stood at 880 and there was absolutely no way Ronald Reagan would be re-elected due to the recession crippling the United States.

Now think through every year since.  Through Olivia’s oblivion, Macs, Reagan’s landslide win, cell phones, cable then satellite TV, VCRs then DVDs, the Berlin Wall falling, the Spice Girls, two different Gulf Wars, Benifer, the deaths of NASL and WUSA to the births of Major League Soccer and Women’s’ Pro Soccer (WPS), the Tribe won.  28 straight seasons obviously stands as an NCAA record. 

Head coach John Daly keeps winning.  And winning.  And winning.  To the tune of 357 wins or ties in his 487 matches during his 23 seasons guiding the Tribe side. 

“There is a continuity element in that the incoming freshmen take the lead, especially from the seniors and juniors.  They want to carry on where those juniors and seniors have left off,” explained Daly.  “The different teams certainly have different identities but there is a common theme there and that is the player who comes to William & Mary knows that she is going to have to work. 

“To work to get the kind of grades that she wants; she also knows that she needs to transfer that to soccer excellence as well.”

Daly’s statistically poorest record came in 2001, when the Tribe went 11-9-1.  They still won the CAA championship- one of nine the Tribe has earned since 1993- and won a game in the NCAA Tournament.

“To be honest, I expect more than a winning record,” Daly stated.  “Only two schools have been in more NCAA tournaments than W&M and we didn’t make it this year.  That really disappoints me.  The winning season, I kind of expect, but my goal is always to make the NCAA tournament and progress in it.” 

The Tribe has made it to the NCAAs in 19 of Daly’s 23 years.  Five of the Tribe’s trips to the NCAAs ended in Elite Eight appearances.     When the Tournament becomes the primary aim “there is a trickle down with setting that goal and then accomplishing winning seasons,” Daly finished.

The program has had 13 different girls honored as All-Americans by the NSCAA.  Any team can ride one hot player or recruiting class to success.  But every college coach faces the challenge of a complete, 100% roster turnover every four years. 

Moreover, Daly faces the additional blessed challenge of W&M’s difficult academic standards.  Not every prep star who wants to come to William & Mary can academically qualify.

“I think that recruiting is the lifeblood of the team.  We have disadvantages but we also have advantages in recruiting in that we have a great school, a College with a tremendous reputation, and a beautiful campus.  Those factors come into play when it comes to recruiting the kinds of players that are going to keep us competitive,” Daly assessed. 

“Whereas we will lose three or four because we can’t get them in, we’re going to get that one special player who wants that combination of academics and athletics.”

So what makes the program continue to blossom year over year?  Dogmatically sticking to a system?  Flexing that system to the personnel?  Both?

Daly elucidated, “The problem with the former is that if you can’t get the players, then you can’t go with the system.  So it’s a bit of a combination.  I know what kind of formation that I would like to play.

“The freshmen are an unknown quantity in the sense that I have seen them play at one level but now they have to perform at a higher level.  The big question is: can they perform at that higher level?  So there is a degree of wait and see.  Let’s try and if it doesn’t work, we can try something else.” 

Daly has now been around long enough to see some of those freshmen not only work out to become stars, but eventually into winning coaches of their own.  Consider:

• All-American Jill Ellis ’88 is the head coach at UCLA and owner of an astounding 215-36-12 record and three NCAA Finals appearances during her decade at the Bruins’ helm.  UCLA went 20-2-1 this season and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight as of press time
• Classmate and fellow All-American Julie Cunningham Shackford ’88 is the winningest soccer coach- for either gender- in Princeton’s history.  Shackford’s sides have advanced to the NCAA Tournament seven times; she has a 160-83-19 mark in her 15 years as a head coach.
• Erica Walsh ’97 has been at Penn State for three years and has won three Big 10 championships, compiling a 47-18-4 mark in her time leading the Lady Lions

“Some of them appeared to me- when they were playing here- that they were real thinkers about the game,” Daly offered.  “I think that the person who goes on to choose coaching and become successful is someone who, when they were playing, was more of a cerebral player than an athletic player.”

Daly points out that Carrie Moore O’Keeffe ’00 and Maren Rojas ‘94 skipper the programs at Hollins University and Bowdoin College respectively.  A deep love of the game, and their obvious William & Mary diplomas, connect the quintet.  But not coincidentally, all five were also heavily decorated on the Williamsburg pitch.

That may be Daly’s recipe in a nutshell- smart, passionate people who work hard and are committed to excellence.  In that regard, Tribe soccer players aren’t much different than “ordinary” William & Mary students.  But just like those “ordinary” students on DoG Street, they make the extraordinary happen, well, Da(i)ly.

William and Mary’s Derek Cox Drafted in NFL’s Third Round

05/02/2009

From www.tribeathletics.com

Tribe Cornerback Selected by Jacksonville with 73 Overall Pick

New York, N.Y. - William and Mary senior cornerback Derek Cox (Winterville, N.C.) was selected this morning by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third-round of the NFL Draft.

Cox, a four-year starter for the College, was the 73rd overall player selected in the draft, and the second taken overall from the Football Championships Series (FCS). His placement in the third-round makes him the second-highest drafted player in school history, as only former Tribe All-American safety Darren Sharper was selected higher (second round by the Green Bay Packers in 1997).

Cox will seek to join Sharper (New Orleans Saints) and Mike Leach (Arizona Cardinals) as fellow William and Mary alumni on NFL active rosters.

On the field, Cox was one of the league’s premier cover corners, as he was a two-time All-Colonial Athletics Association selection (as a junior and senior) and finished his senior season tied for fifth in the CAA with four interceptions and returned a pair of those for touchdowns (at NC State and vs. Northeastern). While opposing quarterbacks often elected to avoid throw-ing to his side of the field, Cox ranked 11th in the league with 0.82 passes defended per game. He also made a significant impact on special teams returning punts, averaging 16.4 yards per return with a pair of touchdowns (89 yards vs. Northeast-ern and 80 yards vs. Richmond). Cox finished his career with 172 tackles and nine interceptions.

Even more impressive, perhaps, was Cox’s leaderships off the field, as he was one of just four players in current Tribe Head Coach Jimmye Laycock’s 30-year tenure at the College to be selected as a captain for two terms. Cox was also elected as the Student Athletics Advisory Council (SAAC) President for the 2008-09 athletics year and was presented the 2008 Leadership Award by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Tribe Athletics Creates Facebook Page to Celebrate Tomlin '95 Super Bowl Title

02/09/2009

The College of William and Mary’s fund raising arm, the Tribe Club, has created a site on the social networking group, Facebook, called Tribe 4 Tomlin that is dedicated to William & Mary alumnus, Mike Tomlin (’95), who became the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009.

A native of near-by Newport News, Va., Mike, who wore the No. 4 at the College, went on to become a three-year starter at wide receiver for William & Mary from 1990-94, finishing his Tribe football career with 101 receptions for 2,046 yards and 20 touchdown receptions. A leader even during his collegiate years, Mike was named as the squad’s co-captain his senior season (1994). He put a fitting exclamation point on a solid playing career by earning First-Team All-Yankee Conference honors as a senior. He graduated with a pair of school records in career yards per catch (19.6) and single-season average per reception (25.5).

In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, the exposure that William & Mary gained through various media coverage was fantastic. On this group page, you will find numerous links to articles covering Mike Tomlin’s story and his background at the College. William & Mary Head Football Coach Jimmye Laycock was also interviewed on the ESPN2 show First Take, as he talked about Mike’s personality and playing days at the College.

In addition to the articles and Laycock interview, you will find a compelling testimonial from Tomlin himself about his experience as a William & Mary student-athlete.

William and Mary Again Amongst National Academic Leaders in Graduating Student-Athletes

10/16/2008

Tribe Program Has 12 Teams Graduate 100% of Players Entering College Between 1998-2001

10/16/08 5:00PM  INDIANAPOLIS, IND - The College of William and Mary athletics department again ranked among the national leaders in graduating student-athletes, with 12 teams graduating 100% of their participants who enrolled between 1998 and 2001.

"We are extremely proud of our student-athletes," athletics director Terry Driscoll said. "It is a credit both to them, and to our coaches, that so many Tribe teams perform both on the court and off at a high level year after year."

William and Mary athletes graduated well above the national average in 18 of the 19 sports measured, including in all nine men's sports. Four teams, including the 2008 National Academic Champion gymnastics squad, soccer, swimming and diving, and tennis, posted a 100% graduation rate. The nine teams averaged 19 points above the national GSR average in each sport. The basketball team's GSR of 92 was a full 30 points above the national average, and the football team also performed extremely well, with a GSR of 91 against the national average for Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) programs of 65.

The women's teams at the College also performed extremely well, with eight teams showing a GSR of 100. One of those eight was the basketball program, which ranked 18 points over the national average as the single-largest margin for all of W&M's women's teams. Also achieving a GSR of 100 were the cross country and track teams, golf, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. In total, the 10 women's teams measured averaged 8.5 points above the national average.

In the federal data, which does not take into account transfer athletes who go on to complete their degrees at another school, both the men's and women's soccer teams achieved a 100% graduation rate, with the men's score an astonishing 42% above the national average for the sport. Seven of the Tribe's men's programs were measured in the federal data, with each averaging 26.86 percentage points better than the national average. The women had eight teams measured, with an average clearance above and beyond the federal rate of 14.88 points in each sport.

William and Mary's 12 teams with GSR rates of 100% led all conference and state schools. Only UNC Wilmington equaled the Tribe with four men's teams at 100, while no other school had more than six women's teams reach that plateau. In fact, only one school (Drexel) combined for eight teams at 100 between both genders.

The NCAA released its 2008 Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data Tuesday, along with the latest federal graduation rate data for all Division I athletic programs, and both datasets showed the highest-ever graduation rates for athletes. Measuring the degree-completion rate of students entering college between 1998 and 2001, the GSR showed that 78% of all student-athletes earned their degree within six years, up one point from last year, and the federal rate showed a success rate of 64%, up two points from last year at two points above the federal graduation rate for all students.
