Jon Coleman Head Coach Third Season
Head Coach Jon Coleman
Jon Coleman was named the men’s soccer coach at Milwaukee on Dec. 27, 2005, just the fifth head coach in school history. The 2008 season will mark his 16th-straight at UWM as a coach, assistant coach or player. Two seasons into his coaching career, Coleman has fielded teams that have been competitive and strong defensively, yet have struggled to have much to show for it in the winloss column. After a 5-12-3 record in the 2007 season, 17 of UWM’s 21 losses over the past two years have been by just one goal. Following a slow start a year ago, the Panthers rebounded to go 5-2-1 in Horizon League play to earn the No. 2 seed in the league tournament. The one-goal loss came back to haunt them again in the postseason, as they fell, 1-0, in overtime to a UIC team that went on to advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. “I was proud of the way the team fought hard throughout the season last year,” Coleman said. “Even though we were on the short end of some really close games, we didn’t lose sight of winning the conference and finished strong in the league. This is the kind of resilience and perseverance we need to bring to the field this fall.” The Panthers went 8-9-2 in his first season at the helm, with eight of the nine losses coming by one goal - including three to Top 25 teams (1-0 to #2 SMU, 2-1 to #6 Washington and 1-0 to #12 UIC). After hitting its stride at the end of the regular season with a six-game unbeaten streak (5-0-1), UWM had its season come to an end in a very unfamiliar spot. The Panthers were upset by Butler in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament, ending a streak of five-straight appearances in the league tournament championship. Coleman is a former UWM player who served as an assistant coach for the program for nine seasons (1997-2005). While on the sidelines, Coleman helped direct the Panthers to unprecedented success, including five consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. Having been involved with the Panthers
for so long, Coleman was very happy to continue his long-time relationship at UWM by taking the next step. Coleman’s career with the Panthers started on the field, as he was a four-year letterwinner from 1993-96. He played in 73 games as a midfielder, starting 63. In 1995, he was named an All-Midwestern Collegiate Conference team selection and also won the Coach’s Award his senior year as a team captain. He posted an overall record of 56-22-6 (.702 winning percentage) on the playing field in his four seasons, spending three years under the direction of Brian Tompkins. His teams also went 25-7-3 in league play, winning a conference title in 1993. He joined Louis Bennett’s staff after finishing his playing career in 1996, serving as a volunteer assistant until being named a full-time assistant prior to the 2001 season. In Coleman’s tenure as an assistant, the Panthers posted an overall record of 123-59-14 (.663) and enjoyed unprecedented success. In 2005, they reached the NCAA Tournament for the fifth-consecutive season and became one of only seven schools to post victories in each of the last four tournaments when they made it to the second round for the fourth-straight year. Additionally, the Panthers claimed five regular season conference titles and four Horizon League Tournament titles under his watch. His recruiting efforts have not gone unnoticed, as UWM players have been regularly recognized by the Horizon League with postseason honors: three times they have been named Player of the Year to go along with 22 first team and 20 second team all-conference selections. In addition, 32 players have been selected for the conference all-tournament team. Panther players have been honored nationally, as well, as Tighe Dombrowski (2003), Antou Jallow (2002) and Chad Dombrowski (2002) have all earned various All-American honors. Additionally, Coleman holds a USSF ‘B’ coaching license as well as an NSCAA Premier license.

Third Season
First Season
Chris Dadaian begins his third season as an assistant coach for the Milwaukee men’s soccer team. He works closely with head coach Jon Coleman on all aspects. He also works with all players, specifically on developing the goalkeepers. “Chris has been through the program and played in the NCAA Tournament,” Coleman said. “He is willing to do whatever it takes to get back into the tournament and prepare the team to make a run. He is a hard-working, passionate coach who is prepared to elevate the program. He has also worked very hard since coming on staff to connect with the alumni and keep the black and gold family strong.”
His goals against average of 0.54 in 2002 was third in the nation that season and was a school record until it was broken in 2005. He also holds Milwaukee standards with 21 career shutouts, 16 wins in a season and 42 victories in a career. His scoreless streak of 741:63, as part of a record seven-straight shutouts during the 2002 season, is also the longest in school history. Dadaian has prior experience coaching with the Milwaukee Bavarians and the Racine Soccer Club. Currently, he coaches with the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program. In addition, he is the director of Camp Shutout: The Advanced Sessions. Dadaian has his NSCAA Advanced Coaching license and his USSF `D’ license. 2008

Jesse Rosen begins his first season as an assistant coach for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s soccer team. He joins the staff from Marquette University where he was an assistant coach for two seasons. “I am very excited to have Jesse Rosen on staff,” UWM head coach Jon Coleman said. “Jesse and I go back a long way and have a good understanding of each other. He will be a great addition to the program. He brings experience and a real love for the game and will help with recruiting and the everyday aspects. I am looking forward to the dynamics of the coaching staff.” Rosen, considered one of the top youth coaches in the state, has won state championships at every level of soccer from U13 to 23. He comes to UWM after serving time as the Director of Coaching for the Bavarian Soccer Club of Milwaukee, one of the nation’s oldest and most storied clubs. In 2006, his first year at the helm, he led their first-ever women’s team to the U23 Wisconsin State Championship and the Bavarian U15 Boys to the state final. A Milwaukee native, Rosen played collegiate soccer at the University of Hartford (Conn.) where his team set school records for wins in a season (17) and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament in 1996. He was named Team MVP his senior year and to the New England Schools Senior Bowl. Following his senior season, he was drafted as a forward by the Mississippi Beach Kings of the Eastern Indoor Soccer League. He spent two additional years as a reserve forward for the 2000 Major Indoor Soccer League Champion Milwaukee Wave. He holds a USSF `B’ License as well as a K.N.V.B. Coaching Certificate (Dutch Federation Residential Coaching School).
Jake Provan Volunteer Assistant Coach Second Season Jake Provan returns for his second season as the Milwaukee men’s soccer volunteer assistant coach. Provan was a four-year letterwinner as a player at UWM (1992-95), earning first team all-conference honors and a spot on the All-Midwest team in 1995 and second team all-league honors in 1993. He also held the distinction of scoring the fastest goal in program history, hitting the back of the net just 23 seconds into a game against Alabama A&M in the 1993 season. Provan has over 10 years of coaching experience and presently coaches for the Bavarian Soccer Club, Brookfield Soccer Club and the Wisconsin Olympic Development program. Provan possesses a U.S. Soccer Federation ‘A’ Coaching License and a Masters Degree in Education.

As Director of Sport’s Medicine, John Ochsenwald oversees the university’s sports medicine department. Ochsenwald is also in his 16th season as the head athletic trainer for the men’s soccer team. Ochsenwald, who assumed his duties in July 1992, supervises assistant trainers and student trainers in all sports, and serves as staff athletic trainer for the men’s soccer and men’s and women’s swimming programs. He is also a clinical assistant professor and teacher in the Athletic Training Education Program. Ochsenwald came to UWM from the University of Illinois, where he was an assistant athletic trainer for 10 years. At Illinois, Ochsenwald worked primarily with the football, baseball and wrestling teams. A 1980 graduate of The Ohio State University, Ochsenwald received his master’s degree from Illinois in 1982. He worked at Illinois as a graduate assistant athletic trainer before assuming a full-time position there.
Support Staff
Ochsenwald and his wife, Jan, have two children, Jenna and Jamie, and make their home in Cedarburg, Wis. Video duties for the men’s soccer team once again fall into the capable hands of longtime supporter Paul Coleman. Coleman, the father of current Panther head coach Jon Coleman, will enter his 15th season with the program. Coleman’s career began earnestly enough when he used to film Jon’s games during his four-year Panther career in the early and late 90’s. Louis Bennett, who took over as head coach in 1996, then began using Coleman’s films as a scouting tool. Coleman, a retired psychology social worker, then joined the staff on a more “full-time” basis and has become a mainstay of the program ever since. And, due to his expertise, Coleman served as the filmographer for the A-League’s Milwaukee Rampage in 2001 and 2002. A resident of Milwaukee, Coleman has been married to his wife Jeannette for 36 years. The couple has two children, Sara and Jon. One of the most well-known faces around Panther Athletics is Michael Poll. He helps as a team manager with many of the UWM Athletic teams and is a presence at most soccer games and practices. Poll is also involved with the UWM volleyball team, the baseball team and both basketball teams.

6 Over the past 10 seasons at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, defense has always been a key ingredient for the men’s soccer team. It has given up an average of just 24.6 goals per year over the past decade and that has resulted in winning over 65% of its games. During the 2007 season, the Panthers allowed just 24 goals, yet their record at the end of the year was 5-12-3. Also, the campaign featured nine one-goal losses and five 1-0 defeats.
Season Preview
Jon Coleman (below), who starts his third season as the head coach this fall, thought he had seen it all in his first year, but 2007 was a hard one to swallow.
“Last season was difficult because all of the games were close - we could have ended up on either side of them – but we ended up on the losing side,” Coleman said. “Obviously, the record was disappointing last year. But I think that has stirred some fire in everyone and given them that extra ‘fight’. Going into next season, the players that were here last year have a bad taste in their mouths. And the new players coming in - knowing this is a very important season - I think we are going to see this 2008 team really battle and fight for everything.” Studying the stat sheet provided no answers either. Milwaukee outshot its opponents in 12 of 20 games on the season and forced more corner kicks in 13 of those 20 contests. The biggest difference this season will be the roster. Gone is an experienced 2008

That will mean that over half of the 2008 roster did not appear in a Panther uniform in 2007.
sibility to see who is going to be sharp and perform. It is what they do over the next four months that will determine what will happen when they are given an opportunity. I mean, let’s face it - Grant and Ryan are both coming into their senior seasons, neither one of them is going to want to watch.”
“The quality players we brought in have been doing the right things over the last six or seven months to help gear them up for the upcoming season,” Coleman said. “They are all pretty quick learners. They have been playing at a high level even though it has not been at the college level. And, with the core of guys we have coming back, they have put a lot of time and work in this spring and they are gearing up for the year and that will carry over to the next group. We still have guys that have the experience of having been to the tournament and, knowing what that is like, have also contributed through the years. That group, along with the coaching staff, will help the new group coming in as we go forward.”
“It will be fantastic with four players competing for one position,” assistant and goalkeeper coach Chris Dadaian said. “This could be the strongest goalkeeping unit in UWM history.” The back line, always a strong part of the UWM attack, will again feature several players with significant experience under their belts. Senior Travis Phillips (below) will serve as team captain. He played in 18 games last season and has started the last 42 times he has taken the field.
That is not to say the team will be leaning on its newcomers alone – UWM will have six returners that were starters a season ago. “I think the experience we return will be significant,” Coleman said. “The returners we have in the back will affect the way the opposition will score goals and will help us stay in games.” One of the most experienced positions will be in goal, where seniors Grant Fernstrum and Ryan Germann will be battling it out for playing time. Not to be counted out will be redshirt freshman Sam Alexander and true freshman John Shakon. “I think all the goalkeepers have shown they can play during the spring,” Coleman said. “It’s going to be their respon-
“With Phillips’ experience, he has played numerous amounts of minutes and been a steady influence back there,” Coleman said. “I think he’ll be able to give us some of that experience back there, some of that composure.” Joining him will be sophomore Greg Rosenthal, who was named to the Horizon All-Newcomer Team after an impressive freshman season. He appeared in all 20 games, starting 17 times. Junior Nkuti Ndely will also have an upper hand on a starting spot.

“Greg (Rosenthal, below) was a consistent and strong player for us last year and is a stable player in the back who will be able to take some leadership and provide us some minutes,” Coleman said. “Nkuti has played quite a few minutes as well and will be counted on.” The midfield lost a few key pieces last season and Coleman thinks it will have the most competition for starting spots on the field.
“I think the freshmen from last season developed tremendously,” Coleman said. “They have a year under their belts so they know the lay of the land and our system and the way we play. And, they have the ability to really make some contributions. They are going to have to make sure they come in fit and ready and that will make all of the difference.” On paper, one of the biggest issues the Panthers had last season was scoring goals. Losing four of their top six point leaders from 2007 begs the question of where the offense will come from. Senior Adam Skalecki will look to close out his career with a breakout season. Among returners, Refai and Abe Gibbons will also see time on top.
One of the things Milwaukee has going for it was that several of the freshman last year saw significant playing time. In addition to Rosenthal, Robert Refai (16 games played, pictured at right) and Peter Sanger (15 games) did more than just get their feet wet as newcomers. 2008

“I think everyone is going to have an opportunity, it will just be what they do with that opportunity,” Coleman said. “There are a number of guys on the team right now that can contribute up top and a number of players coming in that can as well. It’s going to be the individuals that are willing to take that initiative. How are we going to do it? We will do it in a number of ways – set pieces, run of play, services. But at the same time, we need some individuals who are willing to step up and take that role. And I think we have a number of guys who can do that. Sanger, Evan Bartzis, we have the players that are capable of doing it, now it’s just a matter of doing it and getting it done. Skalecki, Robert, those guys have the capability of putting up points. And I think they are going to get a load of opportunities this season.”
One thing that will steer the course of the 2008 campaign will be the contributions of the 16 newcomers - including a 12-member incoming recruiting class. “All around, this is one of the best recruiting classes we have had,” Coleman said. “And every one of them is capable of playing at any given time. It is a group that is really committed and dedicated to what they are going to do next year. For the guys coming in, it’s going to depend on how quick they adjust, how they make the transition and how quickly they develop. But, I don’t think it’s going to be that easy. Our returners are going to want to play. The new guys are going to play a huge role. They will build the squad and make it as strong as possible. With the quality of players we have, and the numbers we have coming in, there will be plenty of competition for spots. So I think we will get the most out of every player.” The following is Coleman’s perspective on how the newcomers will fall in for UWM position-wise: Goalkeeper: Alexander and Shakon Defense: DJ Alexander, Josh Barnes, Nick Dundon, Van Osdol, Pedro Mejia Midfield: Barnes, Eric Frazier, Aaron Gibbons, Tony Maxey, Van Osdol, Mejia Forward: Evan Bartzis, Stephen Romanello, Joe Wehrli “I am really excited about the season,” Coleman said. “The guys we have now have been working really hard and the new guys coming in are really eager. I am looking forward to meshing them all together and establishing a common goal while playing some exciting soccer at the same time. I think we will play exciting soccer, I think we will play quality soccer. And there is no doubt in my mind we will be competitive. We will be right there knocking on the door. And we are not going to be an easy team to beat.”

Season Preview
“I think it is difficult to figure out the midfield,” Coleman said. “We lost two pretty significant players (seniors Zeke Dombrowski and Tenzin Rampa) so the door of opportunity has swung open. Currently, Ross (Van Osdol) coming in early has been helpful. GL (Nicholas Gerard-Larson) has moved in there and done really well. I think it depends on those players we have now, how they prepare themselves, and the new guys coming in as well. I think the opportunity is there, but we are just looking for some consistent minutes. For us, the midfield is the engine that keeps the car running. So we are going to need strong, capable guys to be playing there. We have a number of players to choose from. Out of the three spots, we have five or six to choose from so it’s going to be really competitive.”

Milwaukee Recruits Claim Back-to-Back National Championships Freshmen from Texas accomplish impressive feat
Their Andromeda `90 team, based in north Texas, defeated ShattuckSt. Mary’s (Minn.), 3-0, to add to the title it won in 2007. A penalty kick in the 12th minute started the scoring before the team took a 2-0 lead at the half. A third goal in the 82nd minute iced the crown. Both players recorded strong performances: Frazier scored three goals throughout the championships and Alexander was a strong and steady presence at right defender. Frazier came up big in the pool-play opener at the tournament, scoring off his own rebound shot as time expired to earn a hardfought 2-2 draw in the contest. The duo won last year’s final against local club power FC Milwaukee in a shootout.

2007 Season In Review
2007 Season in Review
34 BODE NAMED ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Steve Bode wrapped up his illustrious career by being named the Pepsi/UWM Male Athlete of the Year. He also received the prestigious UWM Alumni Association Herman Kluge Award.
2007 Season In Review
Bode was a three-time all-league selection, a team captain for three years and a starter for all four of his seasons in Milwaukee. He started all 83 games he played in his career, missing just two of UWM’s matches in that span due to injury. As a sophomore and a senior, he was named team most valuable player. He led the Panthers to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in each of his first two seasons on the field, winning one regular season Horizon League Championship and two Horizon League tournament titles in his career. He was also named to the league all-tournament team on two occasions and set career-highs with 11 points and five goals as a sophomore. In the classroom, Bode earned all-region scholar-athlete honors three times from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America while posting a 3.676 cumulative grade-point average. He also collected third-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America recognition and was a three-year member of the Horizon League All-Academic Team. He also received the Horizon League Sportsmanship Award after the 2005 campaign. After wrapping up his college career, Bode was drafted by the Chicago Fire of MLS and by the Milwaukee Wave. SHINING IN LEAGUE PLAY After a slow start to the 2007 season, the Panthers righted the ship in time for the start of Horizon League play. In their eight conference games, the team gave up just five goals (posting four clean sheets) for a team goals against average of 0.61. They held edges in every statistical category: goals (9-5), assists (8-5), shots (95-85), shots on goal (41-31) and corner kicks (4838). Five different players accounted for the five game-winning goals en route to a second-place showing in the standings. 2008

PANTHERS IN THE PROS In addition to Bode continuing his career in the world of professional soccer, former UWM player Tenzin Rampa was also drafted following his senior campaign by the Milwaukee Wave in the fifth round of the 2008 Major Indoor Soccer League College Draft. QUICK ONE FOR PHILLIPS Travis Phillips gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead against Yale last season before most people had even found their seats. Phillips caught the Yale goalkeeper off guard with a 35-yard blast off a free kick from near midfield in the first minute of play. The tally at the 55-second mark was the sixth-quickest goal to start a match in program history. Quickest Goal Scored To Start A Game # Time Date Player 1. 0:19 9/14/03 B.J.

UWM had entered play in 2007 with an all-time mark of 397-222-53, a .635 winning percentage. MILESTONE PROGRAM WINS: 1: Marquette, 4-1 (9/22/73) 50: Green Bay, 4-0 (10/7/78) 100: Northern Illinois, 4-3 (11/6/82) 150: Cleveland State, 2-1 (10/18/87) 200: Michigan State, 4-0 (10/13/91) 250: Cleveland State, 5-0 (10/15/95) 300: Loyola (MD), 2-0 (9/17/00) 350: Detroit, 3-0 (9/28/03) 400: Detroit, 1-0 (10/12/07) HITTING THE BOOKS UWM had three players honored for their work in the classroom by the league office. Steve Bode, Zeke Dombrowski and Ken Ogorzalek were all named to the Horizon Academic All-League Team in December. Dombrowski was also selected as the league Scholar Athlete of the Week in October.
The Panther men were also once again named a recipient of the NCSAA/adidas Team Academic Award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. SO CLOSE, SO FAR: PART II If it feels like the Panthers have been in every match but haven’t been able to catch a few necessary breaks, it could be considered a factual statement. After a 1-0 defeat in overtime against UIC in the semifinals of the Horizon League Tournament Nov. 16, the trend sounds familiar: 17 of the last 20 UWM losses dating back the past two seasons have been by just one goal. In 2006, the Panthers overall record consisted of nine losses, with eight of them one-goal setbacks. Three of them came at the hands of Top 25 teams: 1-0 to No. 2 SMU Aug. 27, 2-1 to No. 6 Washington in overtime Sept. 10 and 1-0 to No. 12 UIC Oct. 3. OVERTIME JINX CONTINUES In having its season come to a close with an overtime loss, UWM saw a streak get extended once again that they would like to put to rest: the team is now 0-7-11 in its past 18 overtime matches. They were 0-2-3 in 2007, 0-2-2 in 2006, 0-3-5 in 2005 and lost in extra time in the final match of the 2004 season (2-1 at UCSB in the NCAA Tournament). The Panthers last OT victory came Oct. 31, 2004, a 1-0 win over Cleveland State. ONE-ZERO SOUND FAMILIAR? UWM closed out the season by playing its ninth 1-0 game of the year against UIC in the league tournament. After starting 0-5 in such decisions, the Panthers did record victories in three of the final four, going 3-6 in those nine 1-0 affairs. THE OTHER “FOOTBALL” Jake Provan, the volunteer assistant coach for the Panthers both this season and in 2007, got a chance to be a part of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers roster last year as their kicker. Provan also went into the team record books by scoring the first points in franchise history on a 22-yard field goal in the season opener. The Bonecrushers play in the CIFL, a 12team league based in Canton, Ohio.

Recaps and Box Scores
Dombrowski put home a penalty kick at the 51:10 mark, scoring easily after junior Colin Baker was brought down in the box by a Western Michigan defender. UWM could not hold the momentum, as the Broncos struck for the equalizer at the 52:19 mark and for the eventual gamewinner less than 10 minutes later. Both goals came as a result of Milwaukee miscues. Game Two Tulsa 2, Milwaukee 1; OT Sept. 2 at Madison, Wis. Goals by period Tulsa Milwaukee

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Freshman Robert Refai scored a goal and assisted another, leading the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Butler University on the road Friday night. The Panthers (1-8-1, 1-0-1 Horizon) have now beaten the Bulldogs (4-5-2, 1-1-0 Horizon) in eight of the last 10 meetings between the two teams. The Panthers didn’t wait long to net the eventual game-winner, as Refai flicked a throw-in to senior Ken Ogorzalek, who buried the shot to make it 1-0 just 12:17 into the game. Milwaukee looked to take the one-goal lead into halftime, but had to have a big save from junior goalkeeper Ryan Germann to make it that far. In the 43rd minute, a foul on UWM gave Butler’s Boris Gatzky a penalty kick. Germann was credited with the save, getting a piece of the ball and knocking it up and off the cross bar to keep the momentum going and the shutout in place. Milwaukee would go on to add two more second-half goals, with Refai tallying his second of the season just 3:54 into the second half.

A Decade Of Dombrowski’s For UWM Men’s Soccer By: UWM Assistant Sports Information Director Chris Zills What started innocently enough in August of 1997 has taken on a life of its own for the Dombrowski family and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s soccer program. Fast-forward 10 years: Five soccer-playing brothers from the same West Allis family have left a large and lasting imprint on the UWM program. Each is an accomplished four-year letterwinner in his own right and at least one of the Dombrowski’s – Scott (1997-2000), Chad (1999-2002), Tighe (2000-03), Neil (2002-05) and Zeke (200407) have been on the field for the Panthers since the start of the 1997 season. They have helped Milwaukee to a record of 136-80-19 and a league record of 56-15-7. The list of accomplishments also includes five regular season titles, five league tournament crowns and five trips to the NCAA Tournament.
“The program has enjoyed every moment with the Dombrowski’s and will continue to do so,” Coleman said. “They have definitely put their mark on the program and know that UWM will always be home for them. It has truly been a decade to remember.” The biggest difference for Coleman in the 2008 season will take place on the field for the first game of the season. There won’t be a Dombrowski name announced over the loudspeaker in the starting line-up for the first time in over 10 years. “It will be very different and strange not to have one on the field,” Coleman said. “But, even if we do not get to see one on the field this fall, we hope to see as many as possible at Engelmann Field over the course of the season.” The tradition of wearing the Black and Gold goes back to Scott, who was a Team MVP and Coach’s Award recipient in 1999, an AllGreat Lakes Region selection in 1999 and a first-team all-conference selection in 2000. He insists it wasn’t a tough choice at the time – he chose to go to UWM because it was close to home and when he was younger, his dad had taken him watch some UWM home games. He had no idea what he was starting… “I did not see the potential for all of us to go to UWM when I was there,” Scott said. “We talked to one another about what it was like to play at UWM, but we never really talked about it in terms of a big picture. 2008

Everyone seemed to make their own decision to play at UWM, and everything else just turned out really well for each one of us and our family.” One by one, the younger siblings followed. Chad came next, and by the time Scott was a senior, Tighe was a freshman. It was up to Scott to be the big brother and the best influence he could. “It was actually very easy being the ‘big’ brother in 2000,” Scott said. “Chad and Tighe are both excellent players as well as extremely hard workers on the field, and they are good people to be around off the field, so they fit in extremely well. Being able to play on the same team at UWM was extremely special, but it was an easy fit.” Scott, a team captain in 2000, went on to a professional career that included stints with the Milwaukee Wave and Milwaukee Rampage. He currently coaches the Milwaukee Bavarians U-17 team and still counts two lasting memories as his favorite from his time at Milwaukee. “The first one is playing in the MCC Championship game in 1997,” Scott said. “It was against Butler, at Engelmann, in the snow. The second is obviously being on the field with Chad and Tighe during my last year in 2000.” Chad was the second brother to play at UWM, and left quite an impression of his own. His was long-lasting as well, as he continues to make his living playing professionally, most recently with the Carolina RailHawks of the USL. He also became the first player from Milwaukee to be drafted by Major League Soccer, when the Chicago Fire selected him with the 43rd pick in 2002. He earned numerous accolades as a Panther, including SecondTeam NSCAA All-America honors in 2002. He also was a two-time First-Team Great Lakes Region selection and a two-time First-Team All-Horizon League honoree. His pro career includes time with the RailHawks, Minnesota Thunder, Milwaukee Wave and Chicago Fire. He helped lead the Wave to an MISL Championship in 2005. Following Scott to UWM was an easy choice for Chad, as well. “My family and I attended UWM games in the late 1980’s and watched some memorable games at Engelmann Field,” Chad said. “We grew up watching the Lagos brothers, Jon Mroz, Scott Schweibel, Tony Sanneh to name a few. Then, when it became time for me to look at colleges, coach (Louis) Bennett was my state team coach - he liked me as a player and I loved his passion for the game. Plus at the time, I didn’t have very many other options, because people did not look to schools like West Allis Hale for soccer talent.” Chad’s career on the pitch included four-straight winning seasons,

UWM head coach Jon Coleman has been there for all of it, starting as an assistant coach with the program in 1997 up until the 2007 campaign which was his second has the head coach of the Panthers. He considers it a great story and is glad to have been part of it all.

capped by a phenomenal 19-2-1 record his senior season in 2002. However, the wins, ties and losses were all the same to him. It was the other things that went in to being a soccer player at UWM that stuck with Chad.
First-Team All-League recognition. Tighe joined Chad on the list of drafted Panthers, taken 50th overall by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft. His teams won 55 games in his four years.
“The training sessions at the lake and the work in the spring season we did to make sure we could compete in the fall were some of my lasting memories,” Chad said. “My junior year is the season I remember the best, because up until that year we were working with a belief that we could be a top-ranked college team. During that season we got our first national ranking and it was such a validation to all our hard work.”
“What I take with me is being part of and helping to build teams that were very successful and doing it in a way that I was very proud of and enjoyed a lot,” Tighe said.
Chad had the opportunity to play with two brothers at the same time on a pair of occasions – first in 2000 and then again during the 2002 campaign.
“Having three of us on the team in 2000 was great,” Tighe said. “I loved playing with my brothers because they’re great players. They also kept me in line and showed me what it took to be a better player. We’re not the type of family to have a serious sit-down and hand out advice, but by what they said or how they acted I knew if I was out of line or if I needed to play better. Most importantly, when I was playing well, their confidence in me made me play even better. There were also three of us in 2002, and we had the best season in school history. If you look at years where there were at least two of us, chances are it was a great season.”
“It’s great when you can watch your younger brothers grow up as players and people from up close,” Chad said. “It’s also an advantage knowing teammates so well. It helps mesh a team, because you know the work ethic of your brothers. I don’t think I thought as much about it in the moment as I look back now and realize how special it was. All my brothers worked everyday to make themselves and the team better.” Chad turned his time as a Panther into a lengthy professional career that is now going on to its seventh season. He credits the program with getting him to where he is today. “The coaching staff of coach (Louis) Bennett, coach (Stan) Anderson and coach (Jon) Coleman created an atmosphere that was intense on a day-to-day basis,” Chad said. “Individually, they offered personal knowledge that has helped me along the way. I still occasionally look to each one of them for advice. They are great friends who want nothing but the best from their players.” Third in line to put on a Panther uniform was Tighe, who fell back to the same story line on how he approached choosing a college and place to play the game he loved. He got to know the program well from his brothers and watching games growing up. “I really liked the atmosphere within the program, the attitude towards soccer and how they approached the game,” Tighe said. “Having Scott and Chad there was a huge factor. Not because I wanted to be with them just because they were my brothers, but because I knew they were top college players and with players like that it would be a good team.” Tighe made quite a name for himself as well, earning Honorable Mention Soccer Times All-America status in 2003 as well as two-time First-Team Great Lakes Region and three-time 2008
MILWAUKEE
His largest connections to the brother storyline came in his freshman year of 2000, when Scott was a senior and also in 2002, when Chad was a senior.
Tighe has also gone on to a successful professional career, returning stateside to the Minnesota Thunder recently after extended playing time for IK Sirius in Sweden over the past few seasons. “The attention to detail at UWM from the coaching staff prepared me a lot for the pro game,” Tighe said. “I also learned that it’s more than just what you do on the field, but also what you do off the field that gives you the tools to be a professional.” Tighe is very proud of the legacy that his family has left on the UWM program. “Most of us didn’t get that much respect or credit for what we did until we proved that we were top division one players,” Tighe said. “Not many people expected a family out of West Allis to have so much success in soccer. Sometimes having so many of us go through the program hides the fact that we all had successful college careers in our own right. Neil and Zeke had to deal with people doubting them just because they were another Dombrowski. They both showed that they were successful because of the quality of their play and not the name on their shirt. The people within the program knew that. With that said, having so many of us play at UWM to the level that we did is something that I can look at with pride knowing that it was a rare thing.” Neil was the fourth of the siblings to come through the program and did something that none of the others did before him – he took his team to the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons. He was a first team all-league selection as a senior and also earned Second Team Academic All-America accolades that season. He tied school and league records with four goals in one game versus Loyola Oct. 23, 2005. Following in his brothers’ footsteps was almost a given at the time, but Neil still had to choose where he was going to play. “People definitely started to assume that I would attend UWM, but it takes more than being the younger brother of very good soccer
PANTHERS Soccer

players to be able to play at such a great program,” Neil said. “I was grateful that coach (Louis) Bennett and coach (Stan) Anderson wanted me to be part of the team. They always said that we were all different types of players. We shared some qualities but our games were all different. I was just happy that I was able to contribute to the team.” At this point in the timeline, Neil was able to take advantage of the situation he was walking into. College soccer is a new experience for any player, and even the great ones have a tough time making the initial transition.
Neil led the team in goals and points as a senior and earned numerous awards on and off the playing field – including being honored as the UWM Athlete of the Year. He joined the ranks of the professional world as well. After getting drafted by the Milwaukee Wave, he signed with the Rochester Raging Rhinos of the USL. He played last season for the Portland Timbers. He credits his time at UWM for the help it gave him professionally. “The program was always run very professionally, so it was an easy transition,” Neil said. “I learned a lot at UWM - how to properly prepare yourself for games, training sessions, etc. My soccer intelligence greatly improved and I learned about mental toughness and determination. The high level of play showed me how to compete at a high level each day and training. And the competition for a spot in the starting line up has been invaluable to my soccer career.” After 63 wins, 10 ties and just 17 losses in his Panther career, Neil has plenty of great memories. “I’ll always remember UWM by my teammates and the coaches,” he said. “We were all very close. It felt like one big family. And I suppose the irony is that I did have my family there with me to experience these things together.” For the fifth part of this story, Zeke, it would have been easy to just follow suit and head to UWM, but there was still quite a decisionmaking process. The school he was going to play at needed to meet his list of requirements. Milwaukee met all of those on the list. “With my brothers already gone through, or still attending, I had been going to games for pretty much as long as I could remember and already had a close connection with UWM,” Zeke said. “Secondly, the team was a Top-25 team, had gone to the NCAA Tourna2008

ment and was a top program in the region as well as the country. I was able to see through my brothers experiences the ability and care the coaching staff had in developing players for the professional level and that was a major reason for choosing UWM. Also, add in that it was about a half hour from where I grew up, and those were the factors.” Following such a line of success can be tough to stand up to, but not so for Zeke. He made a name for himself immediately, stepping in as a starter as a freshman. He became a mainstay on the field for UWM, starting 60 of the final 62 games of his career and appearing in all 84 games that Milwaukee played while he was in the program. He grew stronger as a player each season, topping it off with first team all-league honors as a senior after he led the team in goals, assists, points, shots and shots on goal. “The prior expectations didn’t affect me all that much,” Zeke said. “I was recruited like an individual and treated like an individual both by coaches and players. Once you are on the field all that matters is your performance. If I didn’t perform well, I didn’t play. And when you are on the field, you’re just another player. Certain personality traits, such as hard-working, determined and a winning attitude among others - I feel are consistent among all of us. Knowing I was a Dombrowski, people expected to see those traits out of me.” Zeke was the final Dombrowski to play for UWM last fall, marking the final season of a run that lasted from 1997 through 2007 where at least one was on the field. The success has been impressive and not lost on anyone. “It helps to feed your drive,” he said. “My brothers’ success has been useful in many ways. For example, seeing your brothers win the Horizon League and win NCAA games and then go on to play professionally, you want to achieve those for yourself. With their success it laid out a path that I could follow to help achieve my goals and be successful. I saw what they did and applied some of their approaches and some of my own to achieve what I have.” The backbone of the success has been the parents, Mark and Judy Dombrowski of West Allis. Mark has coached his sons for years, going back to the day he signed up Scott and Chad for club ball nearly 20 years ago. “I still do club coaching – a small club that a number of boys have been a part of – Parkland Soccer Club,” Mark said. “The oldest two were not in that, it was just getting started. Tighe, Neil and Zeke all grew up in the club playing. All of the boys spent time playing for me somewhere.”

“I was familiar with the style of play since I’d been watching them play for years,” Neil said. “I’m sure it also helped that the guys were friends with my brothers, so I guess they kind of knew what to expect from me a little as far as not only my soccer ability but also my personality.”

All five then went on to play at West Allis Hale and the pride the situation gives the family is remarkable. “We are very proud of all of them,” Mark said. “From Scott all the way through Zeke, they have all had different roads to UWM and different experiences at UWM. I was no less proud when Zeke was there then when the first (Scott) was there – and everyone in between.” One of the things that helped the process along was the relationship that the family developed with the coaching staff. Former head coach Louis Bennett was at Milwaukee from 1996 through 2005, giving the program continuity in that position that is not always there at this level.
A Decade of Dombrowski’s
“It was easy on my part because I knew we could trust the coaches,” Mark said. “They were good people and they were true to their word as for what they thought of the boys talent-wise and scholarship-wise. We knew they were good to their word so it made it easy as a parent to not discourage them from going that direction.” Ten years of having a son on the soccer team meant plenty of hours spent watching games – whether it was in the friendly confines of Engelmann Field or on the road again for yet another road trip to follow the team. “It was a rare home game that we missed,” Mark said. “We went to the majority of the games that were drivable in a reasonable amount of time. Some times it was piling everyone in for the weekend and heading to Butler. It would depend if their siblings were playing – we did the best we could to block out Fridays through Sundays in the fall so we could attend games. Six, eight or 10-hour drives, we did it them all. My wife and I were usually at home games, as well as their siblings. There are definitely a couple of corners of the fence around Engelmann that our family has been leaning on for 10 years.” There have been numerous pairs of brothers or sisters to play a sport at the NCAA Division I level – plenty of other examples exist even at UWM. But to have the story line reach five student-athletes is a unique and special situation. “It is unique and there is a great level of pride with it,” Mark said. “Scott set a good example when he started playing and decided he wanted to play division one soccer. He had a great work ethic. And, even though it was collegiate sports, he had a great deal of professionalism to the way he learned how to play the game and advance himself through it, getting into the starting line-up, playing a lot and taking care of the school part of it as well. They all learned a little bit from that, but they still had to find their own motivation. I tell people very often that if you are doing it for the scholarship money, you are better off hours-wise to get a part-time job and do it that way. Along with the academics, there are numerous hours of practice and the travel – which just makes your school work so much tougher having to do it in distracting settings. It’s unique in the fact that they all have been able to find that attitude and work their way through it.”
“It is unusual that they all followed to the same spot,” Mark said. “A lot of that had to do with the coaching staff – trusting and liking them. Each of them went there for their own reasons. Of course it was pretty easy when you get to Zeke’s case and having been on the sidelines watching his brothers play for six, seven years. You have an ingrained loyalty to the program and can see yourself there pretty easily. They all handled it differently – we never really pushed them to go that way. We liked the program, we enjoyed the people, but we still let them make their own decisions. They got a little stuff from their brothers, but even the brothers let the others make their own minds up. I think in each of their cases there was a different thought pattern as to why they did it, but it just worked out that way that they did go time after time.” After 10 years of walking the sidelines at Engelmann Field, if the family comes out this season, it will be for support of the team in general – not to yell and scream for a son playing on the field. That is where the story takes yet another interesting turn – Mark and Judy have three more children, including two more sons. Of course, they all play soccer. “Quinn is an eighth-grader playing U-14 and he is the next oldest,” Mark said. “Cade is a 10-year old playing U-11 and then their sister is an eight-year old playing U-9. When you grow up standing on the sidelines, it just gets ingrained in you by being there. They learn by seeing, which is a benefit for us. They don’t grow up watching it on TV, so it’s an advantage that my kids have had that their brothers were players and they learned things that you do not learn unless you are there.” Of course, the question has to be asked – will they follow in the Dombrowski tradition? “My son Cade, he’s 10, and he just thinks it’s a natural progression in soccer to go on and play for the Panthers in college and then you go on to play pro after that,” Mark said. “That is the only thing he has ever seen and expects you should do. For him, it’s just a given. The younger ones are playing and we will see how they develop as they go down the line.” All that can be said for now is check back in four years and see who is leaning on that familiar fence at Engelmann Field. The Dombrowski family might just be adding to the amazing story it started over a decade ago.
The other remarkable thing about it is that each continued to choose Milwaukee as where they were going to play despite each going through a recruiting process of their own. It was never a given that each would pick UWM, it just worked out that way. 2008

Milwaukee: A Genuine American City
One of the many highlights of downtown Milwaukee is the scenic River Walk, which extends from the north end of downtown through the Third Ward.
Milwaukee, The Genuine American City, is steeped in tradition and history, alive in growth and development. From the sparkling clean water of Lake Michigan, to the rich heritage of our ethnic neighborhoods, Milwaukee invites you to discover its unique, diverse community. Heralded as “The City of Festivals,” Milwaukee hosts more than 15 annual festivals, including the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest, and over a dozen ethnic festivals all held along Milwaukee’s spectacular lakefront. The RiverWalk, which meanders through the heart of downtown, recently received a $13 million facelift, and development continues to the north and south. Fine food, cultural venues, eclectic shops, exciting nightlife and a wide array of distinctive sports bars are located along the RiverWalk. Also prevalent along the RiverWalk are many brewpubs and microbreweries. Gondolas and water taxies frequently travel Milwaukee’s scenic RiverWalk area. The Historic Third Ward is quickly becoming the “off-Broadway” of Milwaukee’s arts scene. It is home to the new Broadway Theatre Center as well as another, smaller, experimental theatre. In addition, this restored warehouse district features a number of art galleries, the well-regarded Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, coffee houses, cafes and antique stores. An abundance of new housing in the form of loft-style apartments and condominiums are also becoming a part of the landscape in the Historic Third Ward. 2008

for the university’s benefit. Santiago also has a strong background in working with athletics.
Carlos Santiago Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago is beginning his fifth academic year as the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Santiago is UWM’s seventh Chancellor. In this position, he is the chief administrative officer of the university and a partner with a great number of constituents on and off campus. Chancellor Santiago also holds the academic rank of Professor of Economics at UWM. As a labor economist, he has regional expertise in the Caribbean and Central America, with special emphasis on Puerto Rico.
The Chancellor
Cooperation and collaboration to strengthen UW-Milwaukee’s research portfolio, academic excellence and diversity have been the highest priorities of Chancellor Santiago since his arrival on July 1, 2004. Among the primary results that UWM has achieved during his tenure: • Securing a historic reinvestment by the State of Wisconsin in the university’s and Southeastern Wisconsin’s future, especially in the targeted areas of advanced automation, biomedical engineering, health care and freshwater science.
With the University at Albany, State University of New York, where he held the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Santiago was a member of its National Collegiate Athletic Association Certification Steering Committee, worked closely with the athletics department on academics and admissions-related issues, and was involved with the New York Giants annual National Football League summer training camp held at the University at Albany. “Universities must focus on creating the scholar-athlete,” Chancellor Santiago said. “Winning is nice, but first and foremost you must focus on the academics. UWM’s consistent performance -in both winning championships and placing leading numbers of students on the Horizon League’s Academic Honor Roll -- demonstrates our commitment to both of these objectives.” Dr. Santiago is the author or co-author of five books focusing on labor and economic development issues, with the latest being “Puerto Ricans in the United States: A Contemporary Portrait,” co-authored with Edna Acosta-Belén. He has co-edited another book and has published more than 30 articles and book reviews in a wide variety of scholarly journals. Along with Dr. Acosta-Belén, Dr. Santiago also is a founding coeditor of the Latino Research Review and was a member of the U.S. Congressional Hispanic Caucus International Relations Advisory Group.
• Completing the record-setting Campaign for UWM, the most ambitious fund-raising effort in university history.
Dr. Santiago’s wife, Azara Santiago-Rivera, is also part of the faculty at UWM. She is an associate professor of educational psychology in the School of Education.
• Developing Access to Success, the campus blueprint to enhance access to higher education while promoting greater success for all students.
Chancellor Santiago has a Ph.D. in economics from Cornell University (‘82) and M.A. degrees in economics from Cornell University (‘79) and the University of Puerto Rico (‘75).
• Initiating a master planning process to create a template for regional growth away from the university’s extremely compressed primary campus. • Creating the UWM Research Foundation to support research and innovation, and the UWM Real Estate Foundation to partner with the public and private sectors to develop and hold real estate
Like most other boys growing up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Santiago played baseball year-round and aspired to follow national heroes Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda to Major League Baseball.

Bud Haidet Athletic Director Athletics has been a way of life for UWM Director of Athletics Bud Haidet, and Haidet is busy making success a way of life for the UWM Athletics Department. In fact, the department has experienced unprecedented success on and off the playing surface under Haidet. In 2007-08, UWM won the Horizon League’s Women’s All-Sports Trophy for the seventh time while seeing teams in women’s soccer, women’s volleyball and men’s indoor and outdoor track & field win league crowns.
The biggest highlight of the 2005-06 campaign came after the Horizon League basketball season was completed. The Panther men again made their mark in the NCAA Tournament, beating Big 12 power Oklahoma before falling to eventual national champion Florida. At the same time, the Panther women were battling with Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament, only to fall in the contest. Those basketball accomplishments came on the heels of a 2005 postseason run that saw the Panther men advance to the Sweet 16 and garner national recognition. Basketball is far from the only sport where UWM has experienced tremendous success. In fact, both the men’s and women’s soccer teams advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2005. The men knocked off Bradley before falling in overtime to national runner-up New Mexico, while the women beat Purdue before falling to Marquette on a last-second goal. The success at UWM actually started long ago. UWM finished second in the McCafferty Trophy standings during the 1997-98 school year and during the 1999-2000 school year. In fact, following the 1999-2000 season, UWM finished just one point out of first place and won the MCC men’s all-sports championship. The Panthers then won the league’s all-sports trophy for the first time after the 2000-01 season, and then won it again after the 2003-04 campaign. Many of UWM’s teams have also gained national recognition under Haidet. The great success of the men’s basketball team also includes an NCAA berth in 2003 and a National Invitation Tournament appearance in 2004. The men’s soccer team has qualified for five of the last six NCAA Tournaments and has been ranked 2008

as high as eighth in the nation. The women’s volleyball team has qualified for six of the last nine NCAA Tournaments. The women’s basketball team also made the NCAA Tournament in 2001 and 2006, the women’s soccer team has been in the tournament four out of the last six years and the baseball team has also been a regular in the NCAA Tournament. In the classroom, 78 UWM student-athletes were named to the Horizon Academic Honor Roll in June, giving UWM the highest number per sport offered in the league. Numerous Panthers have also won league and national academic awards, including three student-athletes earning Academic All-America honors this past school year. And, the current cumulative grade point average of all student-athletes is above 3.0. Haidet has also directed an upgrade in facilities for all of UWM athletics. The recently-completed Klotsche Center renovation the Pavilion - has vastly improved the office and training space for the athletic department and its student-athletes. Haidet has also led the extremely successful move by the men’s basketball team to the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown Milwaukee and shown the way for improvements at Henry Aaron Field and Engelmann Field, which had lights installed for play in 2006. Over Haidet’s tenure, athletics at UWM has moved from NAIA Division II to NCAA Division I status, and from independent status to membership in two athletic conferences. Haidet notes that the strong commitment to athletics by the institution and student association has greatly contributed to the rapid and successful growth of the program. He also feels past student-athletes, coaches and administrators helped set in motion the success UWM enjoys. Haidet is active in numerous NCAA activities. He has completed Level I-III NCAA Athletics Management courses and was a member of two NCAA Division I Peer Review Certification teams and two NCAA committees. He was also recently the chair of the Horizon League’s Executive Council and is active in all of the league’s activities. Prior to coming to UWM, Haidet was an athletics administrator at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He was inducted into the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005. A former captain in the Marine Corps, Haidet enjoys weight training, hiking and fishing, and spending time with his wife, Beth, stepson, Drew, four children and 13 grandchildren.

The school has won the league’s McCafferty Trophy four times in the last eight years, including a stretch of three-straight victories from 2003-04 to 2005-06. UWM has also won the women’s all-sports awards seven times and the men’s all-sports award three times. The 2007-08 school year was another banner one for Panther sports. In the fall, UWM’s volleyball and women’s soccer teams each claimed Horizon League titles. Then, later in the year, the men’s track and field team captured both the indoor and outdoor league titles, bringing to 30 the number of team track titles UWM has won since 1998. Plus, the women’s track and field team finished second in both the indoor and outdoor seasons while the baseball team advanced all the way to the title game of the league tournament. The 2006-07 school year was another banner one for Panther sports, as UWM teams won seven league titles while a number of individuals also claimed league crowns. The success started in the fall as both the women’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams won the league regular season crown, with the volleyball squad also capturing the league tourney title. Both teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament, where the women’s soccer team moved to the second round for the secondstraight season. UWM also continued its dominance in track and field, winning indoor and outdoor team titles on both the men’s and women’s sides.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus building is the Pavilion, which is the home to UWM Athletics. The Pavilion officially opened its doors to the public in January of 2006 and the building was officially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2. Among the new athletics facilities in the building specifically are offices for coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new locker rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.

ATHLETIC SUCCESS In the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen appearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and eight wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past six seasons.

The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the educational experience through its four platforms of athletic performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience for the student-athlete, to create an affiliation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth.
HISTORY Founded on June 16, 1979, as the Midwestern City Conference with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the conference included current members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University. Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 in the largest nonmerger conference expansion in history, with Youngstown State joining in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007.
