ISTORY

ulcansV California University of Pennsylvania student-athletes posted a banner year in athletic competition during the 2008-09 season, six PSAC West titles, four PSAC crowns and four NCAA regional trophies with eight team and 15 individual ap-pearances in NCAA post-season play. In addition to athletic prowess, the Vul-cans also excelled in the classroom. A total of 167 Cal U student athletes, repre-senting all sports (fall, winter & spring), were named to the Spring 2009 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixth-straight semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. During the Spring 2009 semester, Vulcan student-athletes compiled a 3.11 GPA the highest average since the Spring 2007 semester. Cal U also featured nine ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selec-tions, highlighted by the school’s first Academic All-American since 2006. To be eligible for the academic all-district honor, student-athletes must maintain a cu-mulative 3.20 GPA or higher, reached sophomore athletic and academic stand-ing at their institution and participated in at least 50 percent of the team’s games as a starter or an important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. In the spring, women’s cross country posted the highest team GPA at 3.71 and featured all nine runners on the Honor Roll. On the men’s side, the cross country team posted top GPA of the seven sports at 3.40 with seven runners holding a 3.00 GPA or better. In terms of pure numbers during the spring, football led all 16 sports with 27 representatives on the Honor Roll, followed by women’s soccer (21) and women’s track & field (19). Women’s cross country led all programs with 100 percent of its team (nine-of-nine) on the Honor Roll. Cal U also boasted 37 student-athletes that registered a perfect 4.0 GPA during one or both of the semesters.

DR. ANGELO ARMENTI, JR. On May 19, 1992, Dr. Angelo Armenti, Jr. was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education as the sixth president of California Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from Villanova Uni-versity, an MA and Ph.D. de-grees from Temple University in special and general rela-tivity, respectively. He had a distinguished 20-year career at Villanova University prior to becoming president of Cali-fornia University. At Villanova he served as professor of physics, chair of the depart-ment of physics, Dean of Uni-versity College, and Director of Planning. In addition to scholarly pub-

lications in international journals, Dr. Armenti received the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1978, and was named an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 1992, one of only thirty-two individuals selected nationally for this recognition. His book, The Physics of Sports, commissioned by the American Institute of Physics, remains in print since its initial publication in 1992. Since Dr. Armenti’s arrival at California University in 1992, applica-tions have increased by 90%; average SAT scores have increased by 95 points; FTE enrollments have increased by 30%; and four-year graduation rates have increased by 80%. Many new academic programs have been initiated including: Master of Social Work (MSW); Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT); Master of Science in Multi-Media Technology; Physical Therapy Assistant; Sports Management; Graphic Design, Computer Engi-neering Technology, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies. Other University accomplishments since his arrival as president in-clude: creation of an Athletic Hall of Fame; three National champion-ship teams (two in women’s softball and one in women’s basketball); a successfully completed $13 million (first ever) capital campaign; a new five-year capital campaign that is currently on schedule to reach its $35 million goal; a twenty-fold increase in endowment funds; the adoption by the University of the core values of Integrity, Civility, and Responsi-bility; the adoption of a University Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; the creation of the University Forum, a new governance structure; the adop-tion of a new general education curriculum; the building of the Eberly Science and Technology Center, the Kara Alumni House, the Duda Classroom Building and six modern new residence halls; the renovation/expansion of numerous other build-ings on campus; and the creation of major off-campus sites at Southpointe and at the Regional Enterprise Tower in downtown Pittsburgh. Dr. Armenti has been active with the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and has served as Campaign Chair and President of the Mon Valley United Way. He is mar-ried to the former Barbara Malinowski and, together, they have five grown children and nine grandchildren. His hobbies include piano, photography and sailing.

Welcome to California University of Pennsylvania and another exciting season of Vulcan football. I am con-fident that Coach John Luckhardt, his staff and the players will continue to build upon the football tradition and make this a year to remember. This was a year of remarkable achievements at Cal U. In the past 12 months our academic offerings have been strengthened and expanded. Our beautiful campus con-tinues to evolve, and our enrollment continues to grow. Our athletic teams have won statewide and regional titles and won our first Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer-ence’s (PSAC) Dixon Trophy for 2008-09. The Dixon Trophy is emblematic of athletic supremacy in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference—the PSAC, the premier Division II athletic conference in America today. We are very proud of our student-athletes, coaches and many individuals be-hind the scenes who are responsible for this magnificent accomplishment. I am particularly proud of our student-athletes who perform well not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, a total of 167 California University of Pennsylvania student athletes, representing all sports, were named to the Spring 2009 edi-tion of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixth-straight semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. Our athletes have put in hundreds of hours of practice, and their hard work and dedication make them winners re-gardless of the score. The same can be said of the coach-ing staff, whose devotion to their sport and their players is an inspiration. The mission of Cal U is to build character and build careers. While the formal part of the education occurs in classrooms, laboratories, and internship sites, the other part of a college education takes place in residence halls, the Natali Student Union and in various sport venues, such as Adamson Stadium. Football and our other athletic programs provide stu-dents with an experience that helps them to learn and to grow in ways that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Teamwork is important not only on the field, but in the boardroom, the operating room and in the classroom. Many of our alumni who were student-athletes during their time here have distinguished themselves in endeav-ors far removed from their sport, but they have carried with them the important life lessons they have learned on the field and from their coaches, their teammates, and even their opponents. I hope that you enjoy the 2009 season and that you will support all of these young athletes enthusiastically.

Angelo Armenti, Jr.President

Over the past eight years, the Vulcans have transformed themselves from a mediocre team with a strong football past into one of the true perennial powers in NCAA Division II. Over the last four years, Cal U has claimed a share of four-straight PSAC West titles, a PSAC Championship title and most impressively advanced to the NCAA Semifinals in each of the last two seasons. Under eighth-year head coach John Luckhardt, the Vulcans have won 25 of their last 27 games entering the 2009 campaign and return an impressive 19 starters. The challenge this year is to continue the tradition of excellence established at Cal U and take the next step on the national stage. Cal U returns seven starters on offense, including the entire offensive line, from last year’s squad that averaged 35.6 points and 429.4 yards of total offense per game. First-year offensive coordinator Mike T. Jacobs brings nearly 30 seasons of college coaching experience to the program. Cal U has increased its depth at every position on offense and added several playmak-ers at the skill positions to give the Vulcans perhaps their most explosive offense in school history.

QUARTERBACKS

For a second-straight year, the Vulcans will enter the season with a talented newcomer at quarterback as Josh Portis enters training camp as the projected starter. Portis was highly touted out of high school and played at the NCAA Division I level. As a true freshman in 2005, he played sparingly for Florida in six games as a reserve before transferring to Maryland prior to the Gators’ bowl game. After not playing in 2006 and 2007, Portis played limited time in eight games last year for the Terps. Portis was among the premier dual-threat quarterbacks coming out of high school, as he combined for 49 touchdowns as a senior. Scott Wallace, a transfer from Massachusetts, could see time at quarterback this year and is more of a traditional quarterback with the ability to run. Ryan Morris, the only returning quarterback on the roster, along with talented freshmen Carrington Hanna and Erik Olson provide depth to the position.

RUNNING BACKS

Despite the loss of two All-PSAC West running backs, the Vul-cans still feature a plethora of talent in the backfield with two experienced returners mixed with three newcomers. After two seasons of seeing spot duty, Windell Brown enters training camp as the starting running back. In his career, he has totaled 969 rush-ing yards and 12 touchdowns on less than 150 carries. Brown will once again be joined in the backfield by senior Freddie Bacco. Bacco accounted for a career-best 376 yards and six scores last year. Cal U also features three talented transfers who will make an impact in their first year with the program. Sophomore Dane Conwell returns to the offensive side of the ball after playing linebacker in the Big Ten last year at Indiana University. Junior Cody Wilson also provides tremendous depth to the position. Given their versatility, Conwell and Wilson could also serve as fullbacks throughout the season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Despite the loss of a record-setting receiver, the Vulcans feature more depth and speed at wide receiver this year. Senior A. J. Jackson, an All-PSAC West First Team selection in 2008, returns after post-ing 43 receptions for 706 yards and 10 scores. Join-ing Jackson as returners at receiver will be sopho-mores Chedrick Cherry, Josh Gumbert and Tim Picard. Cal U also added two transfers this season that have legitimate play-making ability. Dominique Curry comes to Cal U after being a two-sport star – football and basketball – at Cheyney University. A 1,000-point scorer on the hardwood, Curry led the Wolves in receiving in each of his three seasons with the team and was the PSAC East Rookie of the Year in 2005. Junior college transfer Terrance Moore brings exceptional speed to the Vulcans.

TIGHT ENDS

Last year, Cal U featured a pair of talented dual-threat tight ends, but graduation and injuries have forced the coaching staff to make adjustments. Given his 6-6, 255-pound frame and depth at receiver, Jackson could make a transition to tight end in 2009. Redshirt freshman Chet Welc made the move from the defensive line to tight end during spring camp and possess excellent hands. Fellow redshirt freshman Blake Williamson and juniors Richard Eberlein and Shawn Johnson, a former fullback, will also see time at tight end this season.

OFFENSIVE LINE

The Vulcans return all five starters on the offensive line in left tackle Cha’Mar Jones, left guard Dan Jordan, center Nick Pic-cirillo, right guard Matt Scheuer and right tackle Nate Nurse. Nurse, a preseason All-American, has played in all 28 games during his career. Jones started all 14 games at left tackle last year after missing the 2007 campaign with a knee injury. Jordan started all but one game a year ago and was honored for his work both on the gridiron and in the classroom. Piccirillo has started 21 games at center over the last two years and is the leader of the unit. Scheuer was impressive in his first year as a starter, appearing in the starting line-up in all 14 games. Cal U also features tremendous depth up front this season. Junior Jack Range had a great spring camp and will challenge for playing time at the tackle positions. Transfer Mike Kush was a heavily recruited player among PSAC schools and will see action at the guard spots. After redshirting last year, Devin Cox is a versatile lineman who can play both sides of the ball. Sophomore Eric Kush and junior Robert Eberlein both gained experience last year and provide solid depth. The recruiting class also features some freshmen who could see rotational time along the offensive line.

2009 PREVIEW

Two years removed from leading NCAA Division II in three major defensive categories, the Vulcans return eight starters on defense, including All-American cornerback Terrence Johnson as well as a Gene Upshaw Award Finalist in defensive end Wil-lie Walker. This year, the Cal U defense will feature more speed throughout the unit following the development of several younger players.

DEFENSIVE LINE

The Vulcans return all three starters up front, highlighted by Walker – a three-time All-PSAC West selection. One of the true team leaders, Walker ranked third on the team and tied his career high with 50 tackles last year. Opposite Walker, senior Brandon Gordon led the team with 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last year in his first season as a starter. In the middle, junior Sam Fikaris returns after starting all 28 games in his career. The defensive front will feature a different look this year as junior Gabe Hernandez moves to unit as a rush linebacker. Playing limited action, Hernan-dez ranked among the team leaders with 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Cal U will feature quality depth on the line as several reserves from last year also return in 2009. Sophomore Thomas Mulabah and junior Ryan Keebler will see significant time at the ends. Mulabah made an impressive 7.5 tackles for loss in limited action last year, while Keebler made the transition to defense from tight end in the spring. Sophomore Marcus Cook figures to see extended time this season after having a strong spring camp. Steve Santia provides experienced depth in the middle after playing all 14 games last year as a redshirt freshman.

LINEBACKERS

Cal U returns several experienced linebackers – Dontey Brown, Brett Diamond and Matt McClellan – in 2009. As a true freshman, Diamond played in 13 games and started the final eight games of the season at inside linebacker. He made 37 of his 43 tackles in the last eight games. In his first season as a Vulcan, Brown registered 43 stops after transferring from Penn State. McClellan ranked fifth on the team in tackles with 46 stops in his first year as a starter. With the development of sophomores Terrance Hemsley and James Lipsey, McClellan will be moving to the inside this year. Hemsley had spot start-ing duty last year and finished with 18 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. Meanwhile, Lipsey played in 11 games last season as a true fresh-man. Redshirt freshman Shawn Patil and transfer Anthony Roberts showed outstanding promise during spring camp and will see significant time this season. The Vulcans will also feature added depth on the outside, as junior Brandon Livsey is making the shift to linebacker after starting at strong safety last year.

CORNERBACKS

The Cal U defense will also be experienced at the corner-back position, as both starters return from last year. Preseason All-American Terrence Johnson returns at cornerback and is one of the top playmakers on defense in the country. Throughout his career, he has proven to be an elite shut-down cornerback and has totaled 13 career interceptions. Junior Patrick Swearinger will start opposite of Johnson again this season. Swearinger showed the knack for the big play last year as all three of his interceptions came against nationally-ranked opponents, including two in the fourth quarter. Senior Trey Allen returns to provide veteran depth to the position. The program also added pair of Division I transfers in Mike Brown from Virginia and Derek Bailey from Syracuse.

SAFETIES

The back line of the defense for the Vulcans will have a dif-ferent look this season, as both safety positions could feature new starters. Erik Harris, who started on special teams last year, will challenge for the starting position at strong safety in training camp. Also in the mix for time at strong safety is transfer Ron-tez Miles. Following the graduation of Juan Butler, senior Josh Menendez brings experience to free safety while sophomore Shawn Anderson moved to the position during the spring to help provide quality depth.

SPECIAL TEAMS

The special teams will have a familiar look for Cal U in 2009 as all of its specialists return from last year. All-PSAC West punter Derek Fiorenza ranked second in the league in punting aver-age. He showed tremendous accuracy on his punts last year as over half of them were downed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. Fiorenza and junior Kevin Hagerman split the kicking duties last year with Hagerman finishing the season as the team’s pri- mary kicker. He finished the year making

30-of-33 PAT attempts and four-of-five field goals. Cal U features increased depth in the kicking game with the addition of transfer Mark Domonkos. Long-snapper Geoff Lyons and holder Tony Battaglini also return in 2009 while Scott Wallace is another option at holder. The Vulcans feature quality return specialists in Freddie Bacco (kickoff) and Josh Gumbert (punt). Bacco earned All-PSAC West honors after handling kickoff return duties for the first time in his college career, while Gumbert showed keen

awareness when handling punts. Cal U also features talented

depth at return specialists as several other players gained experience last year.

John Luckhardt has established a winning tradition in his seven seasons as head coach at Cal U. He has guided the Vulcans to back-to-back NCAA Division II Semifinal appearances and consecutive ECAC Lambert Trophies, which are awarded annually to the top team in Eastern college football. Luckhardt enters his eighth season as the winningest head coach in program history with a 57-24 record (.704) in seven years at the helm of the program. For his efforts last season, he was named the NCAA Division II Regional Coach of

the Year for a second-straight season. Last year marked the Vulcans’ fourth-straight PSAC West title – the longest streak in school history. Behind 17 All-PSAC West selections, Cal U claimed the PSAC Championship to earn a berth in the NCAA Playoffs for the second-straight year and advanced to the semifinals before losing to the eventual national champions. Luckhardt is no stranger to building a powerhouse program in Southwest Pennsylvania. Prior to his time at Cal U, he served as head coach at Washington & Jefferson College, a NCAA Division III program in nearby Washington, Pa. During his 17 seasons as head coach, he compiled a 137-37-2 record and guided the Presidents to 13 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) titles, 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III Playoffs, five regional championships and two appearances in the Stagg Bowl, the Division III Championship Game.

HEAD COACH In addition to coaching at W&J, Luckhardt served as Athletics Director for 12 years from 1986 to 1998. After stepping down as head coach in 1998, he served as the Director of Special Projects from 1998 to 2000. Luckhardt received the American Football Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 before being inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, he was a member of the ninth Athletic Hall of Fame Class at W&J, where he still holds the school record for most career wins at 137. From 1994 to 1998, he served on the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board of Directors. In 1992, Luckhardt earned AFCA/Kodak National Coach of the Year honors after guiding W&J to the school’s first-ever national championship game. Two years later, he earned Division III Coach of the Year laurels from CNN after again advancing the Presidents to the Stagg Bowl. Luckhardt has been involved in a total of six NCAA championships as both a player and coach. He started his coaching career at Division I Purdue University, his alma mater, as a graduate assistant. He also coached the secondary and receivers for three years at Northern Illinois University, another Division I program. Luckhardt then spent 10 seasons at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., serving as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. During his tenure, the Mountain Hawks compiled a 75-25-3 record and won the 1977 NCAA Division II Championship. As a player, Luckhardt was a center on the Boilermakers’ 1967 Rose Bowl team that defeated USC in Pasadena, Calif. He graduated from Purdue with an undergraduate degree in health and physical education before earning his master’s degree in physical education/psychology in 1970.John Luckhardt is the winningest

coach in program history with a 57-23 overall record (.704).

ISTORY

ulcansV Mike Conway has played an instrumental part in the Vulcans’ transformation into one of the perennial pow-erhouses in the PSAC, the region and the nation, serv-ing as associate head coach and defensive coordinator. The 2009 season marks Conway’s eighth season with Cal U. In his seven years with the team, the Vulcans have ranked among the Top 25 nationally in total defense three times. Last year, the Vulcans featured five new starters and the secondary devel-oped into one of the better groups in the nation. Cal U allowed only 161.5 passing

yards per game and allowed less than 21 points per game in 2008. During the 2007 campaign, he guided the No. 1-ranked de-fense in NCAA Division II, as the unit yielded just 207.6 total yards per game. That year, Cal U limited opponents to just 55.9 rushing yards and 11.5 points per game, both marks led Division II. His extensive coaching background, includes a stint at two Division I programs as an assistant coach, a four-year tenure as a head coach in the NAIA, along with a coordinator position with current Cal U head coach John Luckhardt at Division III power-house Washington & Jefferson College. Conway started his coaching career in 1984, serving 10 years as the defensive coordinator for Luckhardt at W&J. During his tenure, the Presidents compiled a 98-8-1 record and made nine appearances in the NCAA Division III Playoffs, including two national championship contests. After his time at W&J, Conway served as the defensive line coach at Division I Purdue University in 1995.

A veteran of nearly 30 seasons coaching at the collegiate level, including 25 at Division I programs, Mike T. Jacobs will serve as the offensive coordinator for the Vulcans in his first season with the Cal U pro-gram in 2009. Jacobs spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator/interim head coach at Mesa Community College. Before joining the Thunderbirds, he served as the offensive line coach at Oklahoma State in 2000. His most tenured stops were with Ohio State (95-99) and West Virginia (80-94).

While with the Buckeyes, Jacobs served as the offensive line coach and offensive coordinator on two Big Ten Champion teams. During his tenure, Ohio State compiled a 57-17 overall record and appeared in five bowl games with a win in the 1997 Rose Bowl. Prior to his stint with Ohio State, Jacobs served 15 seasons at West Virginia on the staff of head coach Don Nehlen. During his tenure, WVU amassed a 110-62-4 overall record and played in nine bowl games. Jacobs and the Mountaineers posted the first unde-feated regular season in school history in 1988 behind the play of two-time Heisman finalist Major Harris. The Ohio native started his coaching career in 1972 at the scholastic level before spending two seasons at Bowling Green State University as the offensive line and head junior varsity coach. He then spent two years as the offensive line coach at Ashland University (Ohio) before making a one-year stint at Toledo in 1979 as the offensive line coach. Throughout his coaching career, Jacobs has coached in 13 Division I bowl games, including three Sugar Bowls, one Rose Bowl and one Fiesta Bowl.

Mike R. Jacobs enters his second season on the Vulcans’ coaching staff working with the defensive line-men after spending three years with Division I Purdue University. In his first year with the Cal U pro-gram, he tutored two All-PSAC West selections including defensive end Willie Walker, who was a Gene Up-shaw Award Finalist.

While with the Boilermakers, Jacobs served as an offensive graduate assistant. He started his coaching career in 2002 as an offensive graduate assistant and coached the offensive linemen and long snappers at Eastern Michigan University, a member of the Mid-American Conference. In between his stops at EMU and Purdue, Jacobs spent the 2004 season as the offensive line coach at Wilmington College (Ohio), a Division III program. Jacobs was a two-year letterman as a center for Ohio State playing for both John Cooper and Jim Tressel. Following his senior season in 2001, he earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. He gradu-ated from OSU in 2001 with a bachelor of science in education be-fore completing his master’s degree in health and kinesiology at Purdue in 2008.

Mike Evans enters his seventh season as the offensive line coach on the Vulcans’ coaching staff. His offensive line units have ranked among the PSAC elite in recent years, while clearing lanes for some of the league’s top running backs. During last year’s 12-2 cam-paign, Evans coached a squad that allowed just 1.21 sacks per game and helped Cal U average 189.5 rushing yards per game. The Vulcans featured the same start-ing offensive line in 13 of the 14 games and featured three All-PSAC West performers. Over the last five seasons, the Cal U offensive line has sur-rendered only an average of 1.2 sacks per game, while rushing for 12,519 yards in only 59 games (212.2 yards per game). As a player, Evans was a three-year starter at tackle and guard at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., after transferring from the University of Akron. He was named an All-American by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette and as a senior he played in the Snow Bowl, a Division II all-star game. Evans earned a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steel-ers in 1998 before being invited to mini-camp by the New Orleans Saints the following year. After starting his coaching career at Berkshire High School in Burton, Ohio, Evans worked with Saginaw Valley State University in University Center, Mich., for four seasons prior to joining the Vulcan coaching staff.

Dave Cole has made an impact in his five seasons as a coach with the Cal U football program. Cole also serves as the Vulcans’ recruit-ing coordinator. In each of the last four seasons, the Vulcan defensive backs have helped the team post 15 or more interceptions. In last season’s run to the NCAA Semifinals, Cole helped coach a

secondary that featured two All-PSAC West First-Team selections and was headlined by All-American cornerback Terrence Johnson, who led the team with five interceptions. In 2007, the Vulcans ranked fifth in the country in pass efficien-cy defense and was among the national leaders with 18 intercep-tions. The success of the secondary in 2007 was preceded by back-to-back seasons with 20 and 21 interceptions by the team in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Cole is a former four-year player and two-year starter for the Vulcans. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 2004 before finishing his master’s degree in geography and regional planning at Cal in 2006. A native of Cincinnati, Cole was a first-team league all-star and earned all-city honors as a defensive back at Winton Woods High School.

Larry Wilson enters his fifth year at Cal U as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordi-nator and has coached several All-PSAC West receivers and spe-cialists. Last year, he coached re-cord-setting wide receiver Mar-cel Pestano, who broke a pair of 25-year old school marks for re-ceptions and receiving yards en route to receiving All-America Honorable Mention laurels. Wilson also tutored one of the top special team units in the nation in 2008, as the Vulcans ranked third in Division II in both net punting and kickoff returns. Punter Derek Fiorenza earned all-re-gion honors after ranking second in the league in punting aver-age. Prior to his time with the Vulcans, Wilson was no stranger to the PSAC as he played three seasons at conference-rival Slippery Rock University. Wilson also brings head-coaching experience from the scho-lastic level as he served as the head coach at Frazier High School, where he was an all-state receiver, in nearby Perryopolis, Pa. He graduated from Slippery Rock in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management. Wilson is currently pursing a mas-ter’s degree in arts of teaching at Cal U.

ulcansV A veteran of 47 years as a foot-ball coach, John Durham enters his seventh season working with the defensive secondary at Cal U. He has worked with the Vulcans’ sec-ondary in each of their four-straight PSAC West title seasons. Prior to his time at Cal U, Durham worked as a defensive consultant and secondary coach at Wash-ington & Jefferson College, a perennial Division III powerhouse in nearby Washington, Pa. In five of his six seasons at W&J, the Presi-dents won the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Champion-ship.

An author of five books on technical football, Durham is a 1960 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy before earning his master’s degree at Duquesne University in 1966.

D’Monn Baker enters his third sea-son on the Vulcans’ coaching staff in 2009, serving as the tight ends coach. Baker, a former two-year starter at tight end at Cal U, has been a part of four-straight PSAC West championship teams. Last season, he coached All-PSAC West First-Team tight end Cory Garver who finished fourth on the

team in both receptions and receiving yards, setting career highs in both categories. As a player in 2006, Baker earned All-PSAC West Second Team laurels after catching two touchdowns and serving as a blocker for former All-American running back Antoine Bagwell. Prior to attending Cal U, Baker earned two letters at Division I Bowling Green State University. In his two years at Bowling Green, the Falcons compiled a 17-6 record under head coach Urban Mey-er, who eventually won the 2006 and 2008 National Championship at the University of Florida. Following his senior season, Baker played for Team USA, which won the gold medal in Japan at the 2007 World Championship.

2008 GAME-BY-GAME RECAPS

In the season-opener, the No. 5 Vul-cans debuted an explosive passing attack that would set several records throughout the season. Quarterback Kevin McCabe connected with wide receiver Marcel Pestano – both Divi-sion I transfers – for a pair of touch-downs in a 44-32 victory over No. 16 West Chester. McCabe completed 30-of-36 at-tempts for 297 yards with two touch-downs, while Pestano posted game-high totals of 11 receptions and 112 receiving yards. Cal U amassed a total of 517 yards of total offense against West Chester, including 220 yards on the ground. Senior running back Daine Williams led all players with 102 yards on 17 carries with two touchdowns, while classmate Brandon Lombardy finished with 93 yards on 17 attempts and one touchdown. With the Golden Rams leading 19-16 at halftime, the Vulcans seized control of the contest in the second half by scoring 21-straight points in the third quarter with three touchdowns. Senior defensive back Juan Butler paced the Cal U defensive unit with seven tackles (six solo) and a fumble recovery. The Vulcans forced three turnovers, including interceptions by starting corner-backs Patrick Swearinger and Terrence Johnson.

Marcel Pestano

After trailing by 14 points at half-time at No. 18 Bloomsburg, the Vul-cans rallied to tie the contest at 14-14 before the Huskies scored 10-straight points en route to a 24-17 victory. With the constant rainfall, the play selection for both teams was shifted to the running game. Bloomsburg amassed 325 yards and two touch-downs on 55 carries in the game. Meanwhile, Cal U used a trio of running backs to finish the game with 196 rushing yards and one touch-down on 41 attempts. Senior running back Daine Williams paced the Vulcan ground game with 90 yards, while sophomore Windell Brown finished with 73 yards. The Huskies took a 14-0 lead into halftime before the Vulcans tied the game on two explosive offensive plays - a 49-yard touch-down pass from quarterback Kevin McCabe to wide receiver Mar-cel Pestano and 38-yard touchdown run by Brown. Bloomsburg then scored 10-straight points, including a game-changing 52-yard interception return for touchdown. Senior linebacker Jake Howell made seven stops (six solo), while senior defensive back Juan Butler finished with six tackles, 1.0 TFL and one fumble recovery.

In a dominant performance under the lights at Adamson Stadium, the No. 16 Vulcans had six different play-ers score touchdowns en route to a 54-0 victory against Lake Erie. Cal U scored touchdowns on seven of its first eight possessions to take a 48-0 lead into halftime. As a team, the Vulcans rushed for 347 yards and five touchdowns on 39 attempts against the Storm. Junior run-ning back Freddie Bacco led all players with 143 yards and one touchdown, while senior Brandon Lombardy rushed for 76 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Marcel Pestano scored a pair of touch-downs in the win, including a 45-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter. In addition to the high-scoring offense, the Vulcans were domi-nant on defense in the first half. Cal U allowed Lake Erie to collect only three first downs and 24 yards of total offense in the opening two quarters. Junior linebacker Matt McClellan led the Vulcans’ defense with seven tackles (four solo), 2.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks, while junior defensive lineman Willie Walker registered 2.0 sacks.

Freddie Bacco

In the first-ever night game at Edin-boro, No. 14 Cal U scored the even-tual game-winning touchdown with 4:54 left in the fourth to claim a 35-31 win over the No. 23 Fighting Scots. Sophomore Windell Brown gave the Vulcans the lead late in the fourth on a four-yard touchdown. After a defensive stop on the ensuing drive, Cal U ran for two first downs to seal the win. Cal U took a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter before the Fighting Scots countered with three touchdown passes from All-American quarterback Trevor Harris to take a 24-21 lead with 11:45 left in the third quarter. After the two teams exchanged touch-downs later in the quarter, the Vulcan defense stopped Edinboro on a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line with 11 minutes left in the game. Cal U then swung the field-position battle and claimed the final lead change of the game on a four-yard score by Brown. Senior running back Daine Williams rushed for a game-high 140 yards, including a 32-yard scamper to set-up Brown’s game-win-ning score. Senior linebacker Jake Howell led the defense with nine stops (six solo). As a unit, the Vulcans collected seven TFL and had four different players record five tackles.

Oct. 4, 2008 @ Clarion, Pa.

Facing its fourth Top 25 opponent in five weeks, No. 14 Cal U managed to hold on to a third-quarter lead to claim a 21-19 victory over rival No. 12 IUP. Cal U sealed the victory when quar-terback Kevin McCabe connected with wide receiver Josh Gumbert for a first down on a fourth-and-five with two minutes left in the game. McCabe finished the game with 239 passing yards and three touchdowns against an IUP defense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in total defense. The Vulcans took a 21-6 lead in the opening minutes of the third quarter when McCabe connected with fullback Shawn Johnson for a three-yard touchdown pass. IUP responded with a touchdown in both the third and fourth quarters before the Cal U defense stopped a Crimson Hawk two-point conversion attempt with 5:27 left in the game. Following the touchdown, the Vulcans answered with an 11-play drive, highlight-ed by the clutch nine-yard reception by Gumbert. Senior free safety Juan Butler paced the defensive charge with 11 tackles (eight solo), while senior linebacker Jake Howell finished with nine stops (three solo) and 2.5 TFL.

Cory Garver

The No. 9 Vulcans scored a com-bined 49 points in the final three quarters in a 52-20 victory against Clarion. A total of seven different players scored touchdowns for the Vulcans, including running back Brandon Lombardy. The rushing touchdown by Lombardy moved him into second place in school history. The two teams exchanged field goals in the first quarter before quarterback Kevin McCabe con-nected with tight ends Cory Garver and Chase DeCarlo for sec-ond-quarter touchdowns. On the first Cal U possession of the second half, Lombardy scampered for a 35-yard touchdown to increase the lead to 24-6. He finished the game with 106 rushing yards on seven carries. In the final minutes of the third, senior free safety Juan Butler intercepted a pass and Vulcans turned the turnover into points when sophomore running back Windell Brown scored on a 12-yard run. In the second half, the Vulcans allowed only 26 rushing yards against the Golden Eagles after registering three sacks in the final two quarters. Senior linebacker Jake Howell led the defensive charge for Cal U with seven tackles (three solo), while Butler finished with six stops (three solo).

Behind five touchdown passes from Kevin McCabe, including three scores to wide receiver Marcel Pestano, No. 8 Cal U cruised to a 56-3 Homecom-ing victory against Lock Haven.

Jackson for his second touchdown catch of the game before three different Vulcan running backs scored touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Cal U defense allowed only 66 rushing yards on 36 attempts to the Bald Eagles, who were limited to 175 yards of total offense.

Senior running back Daine Wil-liams rushed for three touchdowns in an impressive 31-10 victory by No. 6 Cal U over rival Slippery Rock. After a sluggish first quarter in which Slippery Rock held a 10-3 lead, Cal U claimed control of the game with three rushing touch-downs in the second quarter includ-ing two by Williams. He finished the game with 99 yards and a career-best three touchdowns on 25 attempts. After a fourth-down sack by defensive back Antwjuan Cox, the Vulcans took a 24-7 lead in the second quarter on a 41-yard score by sophomore running back Windell Brown. Williams scored his final touchdown with 2:45 left in the third quarter that concluded a 15-play, 92-yard drive for the Vulcans, who finished with a 21-plus minute advantage in time of posses-sion. The Cal U defense posted one of its best performances of the season in the second half, allowing only 54 yards on 21 plays and forcing two turnovers. Senior safety Juan Butler, freshman linebacker Brett Diamond and graduate student linebacker Dontey Brown led the defen-sive charge for the Vulcans with six tackles each.

Daine Williams

The No. 7 Vulcans earned the PSAC West title outright and clinched a berth in the PSAC Championship Game with a 17-6 victory over Mer-cyhurst. The two teams entered the game with undefeated 6-0 records in PSAC West play with the winner advancing to the “State Game.” Cal U jumped out to a 17-0 half-time lead before the defense sealed the victory with a pair of second-half interceptions, including a fourth-quarter interception in the end zone by junior linebacker Matt McClellan. After a field goal on their first possession, the Vulcans scored touchdowns on the next two drives behind a one-yard plunge by senior running back Daine Williams and a 35-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kevin McCabe to receiver A.J. Jackson. The Lakers trimmed the lead to 17-6 on a 98-yard touchdown drive that took over nine minutes. On the next two Mercyhurst possessions, the Cal U defense forced a turnover on downs and an interception by McClellan. Senior safety Juan Butler led the Vulcans and tied his career high with 11 tackles (seven solo), while Brett Diamond, Terrence Johnson and Brandon Livsey all added eight stops.

Nov. 22, 2008 @ California, Pa.

The No. 7 Vulcans secured their po-sition in the NCAA Playoffs for a sec-ond-straight year with a 47-36 victory over No. 17 West Chester in the PSAC Championship Game, which was played for the first time since 1987. In the victory, quarterback Kevin McCabe set a single-game school re-cord with 443 passing yards. He com-pleted 25-of-34 attempts for 443 yards with four touchdowns and one inter-ception. McCabe completed passes to six different receivers and was selected the PSAC Championship Game MVP. The Vulcans featured a pair of 100-yard receivers in Marcel Pesta-no and A.J. Jackson. Pestano finished the game with 170 yards and three touchdowns on a game-high 11 catches. Jackson set a career high with 193 receiving yards and a touchdown on six receptions. The match-up between the two nationally-ranked programs featured over 1,000 yards of combined total offense (Cal U – 640, West Chester – 440). The 73 combined points ranks as the second-highest total in the history of the “State Game,” which was played from 1960-87 before PSAC membership determined to place more emphasis on access into the playoffs, resulting in divisional titles. Defensive backs Terrence Johnson tied for the team lead with four tackles and registered his fifth interception of the season.

Behind a stellar defensive perfor-mance and a quick-strike offense, the No. 7 Vulcans registered a 48-7 victory over Seton Hill in the second round of the NCAA Playoffs. Quarterback Kevin McCabe threw for 253 yards and three touch-downs and broke the single-season school records for passing yards and touchdowns in a season. Against the Griffins, he completed 19-of-24 with no interceptions after sitting out the majority of the fourth quarter. In the victory, wide receiver Marcel Pestano registered seven receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns and became the first receiver in recent program history to surpass the 1,000-yard-mark in a season. With the victory, head coach John Luckhardt set a school re-cord with 56 career wins. During his tenure, the Vulcans have won four-consecutive PSAC West titles and advanced to the NCAA Playoffs in two-straight seasons. The Cal U defense limited Seton Hill to only 211 yards of total offense. The Vulcans registered five sacks and allowed the Griffins to convert only 2-of-13 third-down attempts. Defensively, linebackers Matt McClellan and Gabe Hernan-dez recorded a team-high seven tackles. McClellan added 1.5 TFL with 1.0 sack, while Hernandez collected 2.0 TFL.

Game 14Minnesota Duluth .................... 45California .................................... 7

Dec. 6, 2008 @ California, Pa.

In a back-and-forth contest, se-nior linebacker Darren Burns made a game-clinching play with 1:51 remain-ing to give No. 7 Cal U a 27-24 victory over No. 14 Bloomsburg in the NCAA Regional Championship Game. Burns forced a fumble at the Vul-cans’ eight-yard line before defensive end Brandon Gordon recovered the fumble. Leading 27-24, Cal U collected two first downs before ‘kneeling out’ the remainder of the clock. In the victory, wide receiver Marcel Pestano broke the single-season school records for receptions and receiving yards. Pestano hauled in seven catches for 79 yards, including a 16-yard touch-down. Senior running back Daine Williams eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second-straight season, rushing for a game-high 145 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. Quarterback Kevin McCabe finished the game with 184 passing yards and three touchdowns on 22-of-29 attempts. He became the first player in school history to pass for 3,000 yards in a season and 30-plus touchdowns. Defensively, junior Willie Walker led the Vulcans with eight tackles (seven solo) and 1.0 TFL. Senior safety Juan Butler added seven stops, while Johnson finished with six tackles and a fumble recovery.

Darren Burns

For the second-straight year, the No. 7 Vulcans lost in the NCAA Semifinals to the eventual national champions as Cal U lost 45-7 to No. 6 Minnesota Duluth. In the loss, the Vulcans committed four turnovers (three interceptions, one fumble) and ran for a season-low 56 yards against the Bulldogs. The UMD defense also allowed Cal U to convert only 2-of-13 third-down at-tempts. Cal U moved the ball on the opening drive of the game be-fore UMD registered an interception in the red zone, halting the Vulcans’ most productive drive of the first half. For the game, quarterback Kevin McCabe completed 17-of-36 attempts for 171 yards with one touchdown and three intercep-tions against the Bulldogs. The Vulcans avoided the shutout with a six-yard pass from Mc-Cabe to wide receiver A.J. Jackson late in the third quarter. Juniors Brandon Gordon and Matt McClellan each led the Vul-cans with a career-high nine tackles. The trio of senior free safety Juan Butler, strong safety Brandon Livsey and sophomore lineback-er Brett Diamond each finished with six stops.

CAL U FOOTBALLulcansV Originating in 1951 to administer and promote men’s athletics, the Pennsyl-vania State Athletic Conference has evolved into one of the NCAA’s most heralded intercollegiate conferences. The first major step came in 1977, when based on a growing interest, the league reorganized to provide a structure for its women’s programs. Only three years later, lacking a standard competitive division, league voted to reclassify the entire confer-ence to NCAA Division II. All of the league’s full-time members are located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which makes the PSAC the largest one-state conference in the NCAA. The league has also grown to share the distinctions as: The largest conference in Divi-sion II, the largest football-playing conference in the NCAA, and, with 23, the confer-ence that sponsors the most championships at the Division II level. Highly competitive on a regional and national level, PSAC schools annually com-bine to send nearly one-third of its teams into NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 42 NCAA team and 228 individual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplishments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s finest from an academic standpoint. Today, nearly one-third of the PSAC’s estimated 6,200 participants are honored each year as “Scholar-Athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC Scholar-Athletes were first recognized in the mid-1990s. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, eight league schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 118,000 students and claim over 670,000 alumni, including 430,000 who reside in Pennsylvania.

Vulcans Claim PSAC ChampionshipWith a 47-36 victory over West Chester University at Adamson Stadium, the Vulcans won the PSAC Championship game.

Unable to truly crown one conference champion in football since 1987, the league once again gave its divisional rivals the opportunity to “settle it on the field.” The 2008 season marked the 75th year since PSAC Football Champions had been crowned, dating back to 1934 when a group of sportswriters rec-ognized champions among Pennsylvania’s State Teachers Colleges. Since then, a variety of methods had determined league champions.

In 1950, college representatives decided to employ the Saylor Points System. That practice gave way to the “State Game” beginning in 1960, when league administrators agreed an end-of-the-season contest between the Eastern and Western Division Champions would be played to decide conference supremacy.

The “State Game” was played until 1987 when membership determined to place more emphasis on access into the NCAA Playoffs since 1988, only divisional champions had been awarded.
