n September 19, 1992, before a crowd

of 4,417 fans, which included former

players and then-NCAA executive di-

rector Dick Schultz, South Hill Field was re-

named Jim Butterfield Stadium. The move by

the Ithaca College Board of Trustees placed the

name most associated with the school’s football

program on the facility. Butterfield joined Gram-

bling’s Eddie Robinson and Roy Kidd of Eastern

Kentucky as college football’s only active coaches to

have their home field named for them.

Recognized as one of the top natural-grass facili-

ties in Division III football, Butterfield Stadium has

seating capacity for approximately 5,000 spectators,

although crowds of more than 10,000 fans have at-

tended games there—including a facility-record

12,620 for the 2001 Cortland game.

The original stadium was completed in the sum-

mer of 1958. On September 27, 1958, Ithaca hosted

East Stroudsburg in the first regular-season game on

South Hill Field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, Ithaca ral-

lied behind an Al Cain five-yard touchdown run and

a scoring pass from Bob Ryan to future Ithaca Col-

lege Athletic Hall of Fame member Dick Carmean.

The Bombers’ 14-6 win snapped a streak of eight

consecutive losses to the Warriors.

Ithaca has posted undefeated home records 15

times since 1958. Since the NCAA adopted a three-

division format in 1973, Ithaca has lost just 30 games

at home, with 11 of those coming at the hands of Di-

vision II opponents. Ithaca is 13-6 in NCAA playoff

games at the facility and 2-1 in ECAC postseason

competition.

The Bombers have won over 80 percent of their

Butterfield Stadium/South Hill Field games. In 1998

the Bombers celebrated their 200th game at South

Hill Field/Butterfield Stadium by beating St. Law-

rence, 60-0. During coach Jim Butterfield’s 27-sea-

son career, the team’s home record was 117-25-1, a

winning percentage of .822.

A 17-16 victory over Lycoming in the 2008 sea-

son-opener was the 200th Ithaca win at the stadium.

A number of improvements have been made

since the facility was first used in 1958, including

the latest renovation—a new scoreboard and mes-

sage board installed in 2004. The press box, which

was constructed in 1960, was renovated in 1985 and

again in 1998. The track, resurfaced most recently

in 1997, has played host to championships in the In-

dependent College Athletic Conference, the Empire

Athletic Association, the New York State Women’s

Collegiate Athletic Association and the Eastern Col-

lege Athletic Conference.

ITHACA COLLEGE Football History

ne of the school’s most successful athletic

programs, the Ithaca football team also ranks

among the top programs in the nation. The

many highlights of Bomber football include:

Three NCAA Division III football

championships, a total surpassed only by

Augustana and Mount Union.

Seven appearances in the Division III

national championship game, the Amos

Alonzo Stagg Bowl.

Totals of 41 playoff games and 27 wins

(both among the Division III leaders).

The fourth-best winning percentage in

Division III (.660).

Eight Lambert/Meadowlands Cups, presented

to the top small-college program in the East

each season; and nine Eastern College Athletic

Conference (ECAC) team of the year trophies.

ECAC championships in 1984, 1996, 1998

and 2004.

Four years ago the Bombers recorded the pro-

gram’s 400th victory.

Ithaca’s Division III teams

have been guided by coach Jim

Butterfield, a 1997 inductee

into the College Football Hall of

Fame, and current coach Mike

Welch, a player and assistant

coach under Butterfield.

Following Butterfield’s retire-

ment in 1993, Welch was named

Ithaca’s ninth head football

coach. His first team finished the

regular season with six consecutive wins to earn the

program’s 12th NCAA playoff berth. The Bombers

posted playoff wins over Buffalo State (in overtime)

and Plymouth State and nearly reached the Stagg

Bowl, losing, 23-19, in the semifinals to Washing-

ton & Jefferson. Ithaca slipped to 5-4 in 1995 but

was back in the postseason hunt again in 1996.

The Bombers capped a 7-3 season with the ECAC

Northeast championship, thanks to a 27-21 win at

Worcester State. In 1997, a seven-game winning

streak put Ithaca in the playoff race, but back-to-back

losses by a total of eight points in the season’s last

two games knocked the Bombers out of postseason

contention. The 1998 team won eight of 10 regular-

season games, then routed Hartwick, 40-6, in the

ECAC North championship. A year later Ithaca made

its 17th postseason appearance, reaching the ECAC

Northwest championship. In 2001 the Bombers made

a run in the NCAA tournament for the second time

under Welch. After a 9-1 regular season, the 2001

team traveled to Montclair State and Rensselaer to

post two playoff wins. The Bombers then fell to

Rowan to end the successful season. The 2003 season

saw road wins over Brockport and Montclair State in

the NCAA playoffs before a snowy loss at Rensselaer

in the national quarterfinals. The 2005 team reached

the NCAA playoffs for the 15th time and the 2007

and 2008 teams reached the NCAA postseason as

well.

When Butterfield arrived at Ithaca in 1967 for his

first collegiate head coaching post, Ithaca’s schedule

included top teams like Lehigh, West Chester, and

C.W. Post. His first seven seasons produced a 29-29

record, before the program took off in the 1974 sea-

son.

Ithaca won 10 straight games that season, scoring

over 25 points in all but one of those games. An NCAA

playoff win over Slippery Rock put Ithaca into its

first Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, where the team lost

to Central (Iowa), 10-8. Ithaca won the Division III

team offense title that year, averaging 487.9 yards

per game, a total topped by only four teams since.

The Bombers were back in the national champion-

ship game a year later, posting 10 straight wins (five

by shutout). In one of those shutouts, a 61-0 win over

Springfield, Ithaca’s defense set Division III records

for fewest total yards allowed (minus 50) and few-

est rushing yards allowed (minus 94). In the playoffs,

the Bombers topped Fort Valley and Widener before

losing to Wittenberg, 28-0. All-Americans Jerry

Boyes, a quarterback, and running back Dave Re-

mick were mainstays on those first two Stagg Bowl

teams.

Wittenberg again eliminated the Bombers from

the postseason in 1978, a season that saw Ithaca

lead Division III in rushing offense (averaging 320.1

yards per game). A year later the Bombers upset the

three top seeds on the way to the school’s first na-

tional championship in any sport. Linebacker John

Laper, the school’s career leader in tackles, and run-

ning back Bob Ferrigno, who tops the program in

postseason rushing yards, were two of the top players

on that team. The Bombers were back in the Stagg

Bowl in 1980 and 1985, and reached the semifinals

in 1986.

The 1988 season brought another national champi-

onship. The Bombers were 9-1 in the regular season,

posted an overtime win over defending champion

Wagner in a first-round playoff game, avenged their

regular-season loss to Cortland in the second round

and defeated Ferrum in the semifinals to earn a sixth

Stagg Bowl visit. Ithaca’s 39-24 win over Central

gave the program its second national championship.

The Bombers set four playoff records: most points

(159), first downs (91), net yards rushing (1,377) and

total offense (1,719 yards).

Two freshmen who played in the 1988 champion-

ship game—quarterback Todd Wilkowski and kicker

Matt Sullivan—were back in the Stagg Bowl again

in 1991. Wilkowski set a number of school passing

records as a senior. After a week-four loss to Spring-

field put postseason hopes in jeopardy, Wilkowski

(who was inducted into Ithaca’s Athletic Hall of

Fame in 2002) engineered two scoring drives in the

final minutes the following week against American

International en route to a 23-20 win. Ithaca won its

remaining four regular-season games and then beat

Glassboro State, Union and Susquehanna in the play-

offs to set up the Stagg Bowl return.

In the national championship game, Wilkowski

passed for 262 yards and two touchdown passes and

Jeff Wittman rushed for three touchdowns as Ithaca

defeated Dayton, 34-20. Ithaca’s 94 first downs and

1,867 yards in total offense were NCAA playoff re-

cords.

Ithaca made its 11th appearance in the NCAA

postseason in 1992, but had its three-year streak

broken in Butterfield’s last year.

Butterfield was named Kodak Coach of the Year

by the American Football Coaches Association in

1988 and 1991, and earned District I honors from

the same organization seven times: in 1974, from

1978-80, and again from 1984-86.

Ed Mahoney (80), who was inducted into Ithaca’s

Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008, earned all-America

honors as both a punter and placekicker.

Following Ithaca’s national championship seasons

in 1979, 1988 and 1991, Butterfield was presented

the Stan Lomax-Irving T. Marsh Award as Eastern

coach of the year by the New York Football Writers

Association. The 1988 season also brought him Di-

vision III coach of the year recognition from Chev-

rolet.

National recognition came to his players as well,

with 85 of his Bombers winning

149 all-American spots.

Already a member of the Ithaca

College Athletic Hall of Fame,

Butterfield added to his long

list of accomplishments in 1997

when he became the first member

of the Bomber football program

to earn induction into the College

Football Hall of Fame.

Ithaca’s football program began

in 1930, under coach Leonard

Schreck. At that time, Ithaca

played a five-game schedule that

included freshman teams from

St. Lawrence and Colgate, and

varsity teams from Mansfield,

Hartwick and Cortland.

Coach Bucky Freeman took

over in 1931 and led the Bomb-

ers to their first winning season, a

3-2 mark. His 13-year tenure fea-

tured nine winning seasons. Freeman coached back

Ken Patrick, who still ranks among the program’s

rushing leaders with 1,500 yards.

Doug Bencsko (16) is interviewed by John Dockery of ABC Sports following Ithaca’s win in the

1979 Stagg Bowl while Jim Butterfield holds the school’s first national championship trophy.

BUCKY FREEMAN

Football was discontinued from 1943-45. Between

1946 and 1957, Pete Hatch, Joseph Hamilton and

Art Orloske served as Ithaca’s

head coaches.

The hiring of Dick Lyon in

1958 produced a resurgence in

the program. On the heels of a 2-5

season, Lyon’s first team posted a

6-1 record in 1958. That team, cap-

tained by lineman John Fasolino,

a member of the Ithaca Athletic

Hall of Fame, held the opposition

to eight points or fewer in six of

seven games.

In 1959 an incentive was added to the already com-

petitive Ithaca-Cortland rivalry. Team captains Dick

Carmean from Ithaca and Tom Decker of Cortland

joined to donate a traveling trophy, named the Corta-

ca Jug, to be presented to the winning team each year.

Today the matchup is one of the most prominent in

Division III. The last eight Cortaca Jug games held in

Ithaca have attracted crowds of 9,500 or more.

Ithaca posted three straight 6-2 records from

1962-64. Among the standouts of the period were

1962 all-American running back Bill O’Dell and

Sam Curko, a guard, linebacker and kicker who earned

all-America honors in 1963. In 1965 the Bombers

finished 8-0 for the program’s first undefeated sea-

son. Quarterback James Harris passed for 1,269

yards and nine touchdowns that year.

Lyon’s teams posted a winning record every

season. In 1967 he joined the football staff at Army,

opening the door for the arrival of Butterfield.

PHENIX CITY, Ala.—Quarterback Doug Bencsko

passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and

the Bomber defense limited top-ranked Wittenberg

to just 10 points to secure Ithaca’s first national

championship.

The win marked the fourth time in five tries that

the Bombers had beaten an undefeated opponent.

The two teams scored on consecutive possessions

in the first half. After recovering an Ithaca fumble

in the first quarter, Wittenberg drove 51 yards on 11

plays to score the first points. The Bombers tied the

game on their next possession, a 15-play, 76-yard

drive capped by Bencsko’s 11-yard touchdown pass

to split end Jim Meyer. The Tigers moved ahead

again on a field goal with five seconds remaining in

the first half.

Another long drive, this one covering 58 yards in

11 plays, led to Bencsko’s one-yard touchdown dive.

The score, with 1:33 left in the third quarter, turned

out to be the last of the game.

All four Tiger fumbles occurred in Ithaca territory,

and two were recovered by the Bombers inside the15-

yard line. Linebacker Harry Moss and nose guard

Don Phillips each had 12 total tackles for Ithaca, and

defensive back Tony Smith added 10. All-American

linebacker John Laper and defensive tackle Jimmy

Hoffman had nine tackles apiece.

PHENIX CITY, Ala.—Stagg Bowl most valuable

player Paul Parker rushed for 208 yards and three

touchdowns, leading Ithaca to a 39-24 win over Cen-

tral.

Central came into the game yielding an aver-

age of fewer than 100 rushing yards per game, but

Ithaca rushed for 408 on the afternoon. The pass-

ing attack was effective as well, as quarterbacks

Todd Wilkowski and Tom Pasquale combined to

complete 11 of 15 passes for 116 yards. The team

completion mark of .733 established an Ithaca play-

off record.

Touchdown runs of 23 and 26 yards by Parker, a

five-yard scoring run by Wilkowski, and Matt Sul-

livan’s 42-yard field goal helped Ithaca build a 25-8

advantage. The Dutchmen closed the gap to10 points

on a third-quarter touchdown, but on the following

kickoff Mike Scott scored on an 84-yard return.

Parker’s third touchdown put the game out of reach

in the fourth.

Cornerback Tom Knapp tied a Stagg Bowl and

school playoff record with three interceptions,

and linebacker Matt Herbst led the team in tackles

Long-time NFL assistant coach Tony Wise,

a 1973 Ithaca graduate, visited the Bombers’ preseason

camp in 2005 to work with the team’s offensive linemen.

Wise, a member of Ithaca’s Hall of Fame, was a classmate

of Bomber head coach Mike Welch.

ITHACA COLLEGE

16 Football 2009

thaca College’s ninth head football coach, Welch

has continued the success of one of Division III’s

winningest programs. His teams have been con-

sistent playoff contenders, and he owns a record of

121-43 (.738) as Bomber coach. He achieved another

milestone in 2006 when he was elected to the Ameri-

can Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board

of Trustees, where he is one of just two Division

III coaches.

Taking over for Jim Butterfield, one of college

football’s most successful coaches, Welch was col-

lege football’s most successful rookie coach in 1994.

He led the Bombers to a 10-3 record and the NCAA

Division III semifinals that year.

He posted more victories (10) than any other

first-year NCAA coach. For his efforts, Welch was

named Division III coach of the year by College

Sports magazine and Eastern Division III coach of

the year (Stan Lomax-Irving Marsh Award) by the

Football Writers of New York.

The 1996 season saw a return to postseason

play for Ithaca. The Bombers started the season

with five straight wins and at one point earned the

top spot in the NCAA Division III East Region

rankings. Ithaca won the ECAC Northeast champi-

onship by downing previously unbeaten Worcester

State, 27-21. The 1998 and 199 teams also made

ECAC playoff appearances. In 2001 the Bomb-

ers reached the NCAA quarterfinals, posting road

wins at Montclair State and Rensselaer. The 2003

Bombers reached the national quarterfinals after

recording NCAA playoff wins at Brockport and

Montclair State. In 2004 Ithaca routed Massachu-

setts-Dartmouth in an ECAC postseason game and a

year later the Bombers won their fourth straight

Empire 8 title and reached the NCAA playoffs for

the 15th time. In the past two years Bombers have

made consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament (for

the first time since 1992).

A high school standout at Dansville, Welch was

coached there by Ithaca Athletic Hall of Fame mem-

ber Tom Vogt ’64 and earned all-county honors as a

junior halfback and a senior linebacker. Dansville was

16-0 during Welch’s sophomore and junior seasons.

At Ithaca he earned two letters playing for

Butterfield. A running back, he missed most of his

sophomore season with an ankle injury. Welch was

named the Bombers’ most-improved back as a junior

after gaining 467 yards on 117 carries. The starter at

fullback and a captain as a senior, Welch was again

slowed by an injury but still gained 257 yards on 61

attempts. Welch also spent four years with the la-

crosse program, including two with the varsity.

From 1973-76 Welch worked as an assistant

football coach at Rush-Henrietta High School in

he Bombers extended their streak to 38 straight

winning seasons in 2008 and made the program’s

fifth trip to the NCAA playoffs in eight years (and

18th overall). Ithaca brings back 41 letter-winners,

including 12 starters.

2008 REVIEW: Ithaca’s 9-2 record marked the

20th time in the past 35 years that the Bombers

America honors with cornerback Jason Chier and

linebacker Matt Scalice named to D3football.com’s

first team and left guard Chris Gray and tight end

Brian Weverbergh picking up third-team recogni-

ed Press and AFCA all-America teams. All four were

first-team all-region picks, with defensive tackle

Joe Goetz and running back Thomas Bergerstock

named second and third-team all-region, respective-

ly. Bergerstock, Chier, Goetz, Gray, Scalice and

Weverbergh were each named to the all-Empire 8

first team (Chier was a first-team Empire 8 all-star as

both a cornerback and as a kick returner), where they

were joined by offensive tackles Sean Mirkov and

Jake Queener. Quarterback Dan Juvan, defensive

end Adam Drescher and right guard Eric Russo

were second-team picks with strong safety David

Ahonen, wide receiver Kyle Crandall, kicker An-

drew Rogowski and linebacker John Scanlon re-

ceived honorable mention. Coach Mike Welch was

named Empire 8 Coach of the Year and AFCA Dis-

trict I Coach of the Year.

THE DEFENSE: Ithaca brings back 22 letter-

winners from a unit that posted the Empire 8’s

second-best scoring defense and rush defense. Eight

starters return, along with five other players who

have seen starting duty.

DEFENSIVE LINE: Ithaca returns all four start-

ers and the list is headed by seniors Adam Drescher,

a team captain, and preseason all-American Joe Go-

etz. Both have seen starting duty since their freshman

seasons.

A second-team Empire all-star, Drescher has com-

piled 100 tackles (including 26 for loss) while mak-

ing 23 starts over the past three seasons. Also lining

up at one end spot will be seniors Scott Auchenbach

and Brad Payne and junior Sean Gil. Auchenbach

missed most of last year with an injury; he recorded

four tackles (two for loss) in his two appearances. A

former tight end, Payne lettered in his first season on

the defensive side after picking up a pair of tackles

in eight games. Gil is in his second year with the

varsity.

Three veterans return at the other end spot. Junior

Matt Dibble took over as the starter in midseason

and wound up second on the team in tackles for loss

(12) and sacks (five). Sophomore Chris Collier also

returns. One of eight Ithaca freshmen to letter in

2008, he made nine tackles while playing in all but

two games.

Goetz, an all-region and all-conference pick last

fall, has picked up a third of his career tackles behind

the line of scrimmage (33 of 99) and has made 10

sacks. Classmate Kyle Scharles, another three-year

letter winner, has started 13 games over the past two

seasons while making 32 tackles. Junior Andrew

Haim, who played in eight games last year – starting

once – has lettered in both his Bomber seasons.

LINEBACKERS: Six letter-winners are back this

season, with four Bombers who combined to start 22

games last fall returning.

Matt Scalice enters his final season as one of Di-

vision III’s top defensive players. D3football.com’s

East Region Defensive Player of the Year in 2008,

he’s averaged 7.6 tackles per game in his career;

maintaining that pace would put him second on the

program’s all-time list at the end of the regular sea-

son. Scalice’s return (he was granted a fifth year of

eligibility after missing playing just three games as

a freshman) marks the first time the Bombers have

brought back a first-team all-American since Jeff

Wittman in 1992.

Junior Pat Scott and sophomore Ryan Clarke

also return at middle linebacker. Scott made nine

tackles (three for loss) as Scalice’s back-up last year.

Clarke started times games at outside linebacker and

finished with 36 tackles despite missing three games.

Senior Eric Berger, who rejoins the program, and

sophomore Tyler Murray (a junior varsity player in

2008), are also in the mix.

Junior Morgan Abdelnour is the most experi-

enced candidate at one outside spot. A starter in the

season’s final three games, he finished with 43 tack-

les (including four for loss). Sophomore Eric Topo-

roff lettered as Ithaca’s punter last fall but is ex-

pected to see significant playing time at linebacker.

Sophomore Jusan Hamilton (a member of Ithaca’s

track & field team last year) joined the program last

Adam Drescher, Tyler Baker and Kyle Scharles (l. to r.) have all seen starting action for the past two seasons.

spring.

At the third linebacker spot, sophomore Joe Gil-

fedder and senior Tyler Baker are the leading can-

didates. Gilfedder lettered as a freshman after play-

ing in six games. Baker, a part-time starter in 2007

and 2008, has made 65 career tackles, including 26

last year. Sophomores Jordan McElroy is up from

the junior varsity team.

SECONDARY: A pair of starters and two other

defensive backs with starting experience are on the

Bomber roster. Junior strong safety David Ahonen

earned all-conference honors last year and his 57

tackles and eight pass break-ups are the most by a re-

turning defensive back. Ahonen has made 68 career

tackles and picked off three passes last year. Senior

Bobby DeForrest and junior Kevin Accetta both

return to the varsity this season. Sophomore Kevin

Cline is up from the junior varsity team.

At free safety, senior Chad Herring made six

stops last year while earning his second letter. Junior

Tyler Rauber is back for a second varsity season.

Sophomore Spencer White heads the list of re-

turning cornerbacks. A starter in the final seven

games, he made 45 tackles and broke up five passes.

Junior Tom Eschen, a 2008 letter winner, will push

for playing time as well. Juniors Aaron Castonguay

and newcomer Brendan Kurtz are also available.

The other cornerback spot features returning let-

ter-winners Mike Conti and Andy Lonsky. Conti

played in all but one game as a Bomber freshman.

Lonsky, a transfer from Shippensburg, made 11

tackles and scored on an interception return in his

first Ithaca season.

players who’ve seen starting duty are among the 16

Fisher who gained 123 yards in four games with the

Cardinals last fall, and sophomore Adam Lajara,

who’s up from the junior varsity team, are also can-

didates.

Joe Nicoletti, who’d lettered as a reserve linebacker

in 2007, picked up his second letter last year after

moving to fullback.

Sophomore Eric Cerio, a junior varsity player

last fall, and sophomore Aaron Sader-Rubinstein, a

transfer from Iona, are also in Ithaca’s backfield.

QUARTERBACK: Pressed into first-string

duty for the final 10 quarters of the season, Brian

Grastorf threw for 537 yards and six scores to lead

the Bombers past undefeated Cortland and into the

NCAA playoffs. Now a senior captain, Grastorf has

compiled 955 yards and nine TD’s in his career while

accumulating a quarterback rating of 143.0.

Junior Rob Zappia, a baseball teammate of Gras-

torf’s as well, was Ithaca’s third quarterback the past

two years. Sophomore Mike Matthews, who red-

shirted at Division I-AA Delaware, will also push for

playing time.

RECEIVERS: Ithaca brings back five letter-win-

ners, including a pair of players with starting experi-

ence. Junior Thomas Vossler was Ithaca’s leading

wide receiver in his first varsity season, catching 41

passes and averaging 13.0 yards per reception. Se-

nior Shane O’Malley, who’s played in 16 games

over the past two seasons, made his first career start

in the NCAA playoff game against Curry. Junior

Dan Ruffrage, who played in just three games last

year because of an injury, is another top candidate

for a starting spot.

Senior Chad LaChance, juniors Sean Heenehan

and Chris McConnell ( a converted cornerback) and

sophomore Alex Hendrickson all return to the var-

sity roster. Sophomores Eric Breton, Tom Coady

and Matt Hannon are all up from last year’s junior

varsity team.

Three returning letter-winners return at tight end.

Senior Sean Puckhaber and junior Dan Higgins

both saw regular duty as back-ups last year (Higgins

caught four passes). Junior Matt Crandall moves to

tight end from running back; he contributed 76 rush-

ing yards and a pair of touchdowns last season.

Juniors Charlie Calovich, a former fullback, and

Jack Scott will also push for playing time, along

with sophomore Alex Price.

OFFENSIVE LINE: Ithaca featured one of Di-

vision III’s top offensive lines last fall; five letter

winners, including a pair of Bombers with starting

experience, are back this year.

Heading the list is 6-8 right tackle Jake Queener.

The former starter at Division I-AA Maine started

every game and earned first-team all-Empire 8 recog-

nition in his first season in a Bomber uniform. Junior

Vinnie Diana, a returning varsity player, is another

candidate.

The most experienced contender for the other

tackle spot is junior Leland King. A letter-winner

in 2008, King also lined up as a blocking tight end.

Sophomores Mike Glickman and Bob Levenfeld

are also pushing for playing time.

At guard, the Bombers bring back Kevin Heinzel-

man, who was granted a fifth year of eligibility after

missing the 2006 season. He made a pair of starts at

right guard last season. Sophomores Sal Arena and

Greg Peck, junior varsity players as freshmen, are

also available.

Junior Rich Mallon has the most playing experi-

ence of the candidates at left guard. Other choices in-

clude junior Jason Zweig, who’s being moved from

defensive end, and junior Brian Murray, a former

starter at Division I-AA Pace.

Senior centers Mike Boch and Mark Rodovick,

who both lettered as reserve linemen in 2008, are the

top candidates for the last starting spot.

Ithaca fielded one of the nation’s best special teams

units. The Bombers ranked ninth in the nation in punt

Jake Queener (73) and Kevin Heinzelman (73) return from one of Division III’s top offensive lines.

marking their longest winning streak against any

opponent. Ithaca’s games against Union and Wid-

ener will be the program’s first regular-season game

against either opponent, but both have been Bomber

victims in the NCAA playoffs (Ithaca beat Union

in 1985, 1986 and on the way to the 1991 national

title; the Bombers beat Widener in 1975 to reach the

Stagg Bowl). Empire 8 play kicks off Sept. 26 for

the Bombers when they travel to Utica. Ithaca has

won five of the league’s seven championships, post-

ing a 33-6 conference record since football became

an Empire 8 sport in 2002. The next three weeks

feature three Homecoming games; Ithaca celebrates

its own Homecoming against St. John Fisher Oct. 10

between visits to Utica and Frostburg State for those

schools’ Homecoming games. Ithaca has treated

its Homecoming fans to a win 25 times in the past

27 years and the Bombers have won eight straight

road games as a Homecoming opponent. Following

a week off Ithaca travels to Springfield for its final

regular-season road trip, then returns home for the

season’s final two games. The Bombers host Alfred

Nov. 7 to close out their Empire 8 schedule then take

on visiting Cortland in the 51st Cortaca Jug game.

The game, which annually draws more than 10,000

fans to Ithaca’s Butterfield Stadium (capacity 5,000),

is one of Division III’s signature rivalries. The

Bombers hold series lead against all 10 of their 2009

opponents. Three made postseason appearances last

fall with Cortland playing in the NCAA playoffs and

Alfred and St. John Fisher picked for ECAC games.

#18 ITHACA 17, Lycoming 16

Lycoming (0-1) 0 3 0 13 — 16

Ithaca (1-0) 3 7 0 7 — 17

ITHACA, N.Y. —The #18 Bombers rallied to beat the visit-

ing Lycoming Warriors 17-16, opening the season with a win

for the 28th time in 32 years. Senior cornerback Jason Chier

intercepted two passes and blocked an extra point. The win was

Ithaca’s 200th in Butterfield Stadium/South Hill Field.

The Bombers used a touchdown and extra point with 4:14

left to seal the win. Senior running back Justin Kulp capped

a 10-play, 72-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown and

freshman Andrew Rogowski followed with the game-winning

extra point.

The Warriors’ final drive ended when Chier made a diving

interception inside the Bomber 30 with 11 seconds remaining.

He was named Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week for

his efforts and also earned a spot on D3football.com’s Team

of the Week.

Ithaca held a 10-3 lead before the Warriors scored touch-

downs on consecutive fourth-quarter possessions. Following

their go-ahead touchdown, Chier blocked the extra-point

attempt.

The Bombers took leads of 3-0 – on a 29-yard field goal by

sophomore Dillon Dwyer– and 10-3. Their first touchdown

was a one-yard run by sophomore Matt Crandall. Crandall’s

first career touchdown came two plays after the Warriors were

called for roughing the kicker on a successful 25-yard field goal

attempt by Dwyer. Dwyer was injured on the play, leading to

Rogowski taking over on extra point attempts.

Junior cornerback Chris Grady, one of seven Bombers

making their first career start, recorded a personal-best 12

tackles. Junior strong safety Roniel Bencosme added a career-

high seven. Junior defensive tackle Joe Goetz recorded a pair

of sacks among his six tackles.

Sophomore running back Thomas Bergerstock, one of five

first-time offensive starters, rushed for a team-best 78 yards.

Sophomore wide receiver Thomas Vossler, another first-time

starter, caught four passes for a team-leading 63 yards. Senior

quarterback Dan Juvan completed 11 of 24 passes for 142

yards.

Junior defensive end Adam Drescher and senior defensive

tackle John Cirba (first career) had sacks. Senior linebacker

Matt Scalice made five tackles and broke up two passes.

Frostburg State (2-4) 7 3 7 7 — 24

Ithaca (5-1) 7 21 9 14 — 51

ITHACA, N.Y.— Junior running back Thomas Bergerstock

ran for 196 yards and four touchdowns as the #23 Bombers

posted a 51-24 non-league win over visiting Frostburg State.

Ithaca ran for a season-best 272 yards; the Bombers’ 37:09

time of possession was also a season-high mark. Both figures,

as well as Ithaca’s six-for-six efficiency in the red zone, helped

the offensive line earn a milestone award from the Empire 8.

The group of senior left tackle Sean Mirkov, senior left guard

Chris Gray, junior center Ben Garvey, senior right guard Eric

Russo and junior right tackle Jake Queener was collectively

named Empire 8 Offensive Player of the Week, marking the

first time in the conference’s seven years of weekly awards

that a team’s offensive line was honored. They did not allow

a sack for the second straight game.

Senior quarterback Dan Juvan completed 21 of 34 passes for

217 yards and a seven-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver

Zach Connett (the first of his career). Senior tight end Brian

Weverbergh caught a game-high six passes for a team-leading

82 yards. Senior wideout Kyle Crandall and junior fullback

Dan Witbeck both caught four passes. Witbeck’s total was a

career high, as was Bergerstock’s three receptions.

Sophomore running back Matt Crandall closed out the scor-

ing with a 14-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run. Freshman

kicker Andrew Rogowski converted all seven of his extra-point

attempts. Ithaca picked up a safety when Connett chased the

Bobcat punter out of the end zone after a bad snap.

Ithaca held the Bobcats to 84 rushing yards and one-of-11

efficiency on third down. Senior linebacker John Scanlon made

10 tackles, including two for loss. Freshman linebacker Ryan

Clarke made seven stops and forced a fumble that sophomore

strong safety David Ahonen recovered to set up Ithaca’s go-

ahead touchdown. Ahonen intercepted a pass on Frostburg

State’s next drive to set up another touchdown.

Freshman cornerback Spencer White added nine tackles.

Utica (2-5, 1-2) 0 0 0 7 — 7

Ithaca (6-1, 3-1) 7 14 21 0 — 42

ITHACA, N.Y.— Junior running back Thomas Bergerstock

ran for five touchdowns as the #24 Bombers clinched the

program’s 38th consecutive winning season with a 42-7 win

over the visiting Utica Pioneers.

Bergerstock’s five touchdowns marked the second time

in four games he’d tied the school’s single-game record. He

went over the 1,000-yard mark for both his career (he’s the

29th Bomber to reach that total) and the season (posting the

program’s eighth 1,000-yard season).

The Bombers ran for 227 yards and outgained Utica 477-

206 in beating the Pioneers (whose first-year coach, Blaise

Faggiano, won a Stagg Bowl as a Bomber nose guard and

spent four seasons as an Ithaca assistant coach) for the eighth

time in as many meetings.

Bergerstock gained 138 yards on 33 carries and capped five

of Ithaca’s first eight drives with touchdown runs (the Bombers

were intercepted in the end zone on their second drive and took

a knee to run out the clock at the end of the first half).

Senior quarterback Dan Juvan threw for 250 yards, compet-

ing 15 of 25 passes in the torrential rain. He threw a 23-yard

touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Kyle Crandall for

Ithaca’s third score.

Crandall caught five passes for 76 yards. Sophomore wide-

out Thomas Vossler caught four and led Ithaca with a career-

best 84 yards. Junior fullback Dan Witbeck caught three passes

for a career-high 50 yards. Freshman kicker Andrew Rogowski

made all six of his extra-point attempts.

The Bombers held Utica to 39 yards of total offense and

three first downs in the first half and game totals of 52 passing

yards (in 19 attempts), 130 rushing yards in 40 attempts and

three of 14 success on third and fourth downs. The Pioneers

drove 66 plays on their first second-half possession, but a first-

and-goal from the Ithaca three ended when their 21-yard field

goal attempt was blocked by sophomore David Ahonen.

Senior linebacker Matt Scalice, the Empire 8 Defensive

Player of the Week, made 10 tackles – including two for

loss – to lead the Bombers. Sophomore defensive end Matt

Dibble, senior linebacker Craig Liebler and freshman corner-

back Spencer White each made six. Senior linebacker John

Scanlon was also in on a pair of tackles for loss.

ITHACA, N.Y.— Junior running back Thomas Bergerstock

ran for 175 yards and four touchdowns as the #21 Bombers

closed out an undefeated regular season at home, beating the

visiting Pride 37-8.

Bergerstock raised his season totals to 20 touchdowns and

120 points, breaking school records in both categories. Jeff

Wittman’s totals of 19 touchdowns and 114 points had stood

since 1992.

Bergerstock went over 100 yards in the first quarter, cap-

ping Ithaca’s first two drives with touchdown runs of 45 and

nine yards. He added 14-yard score in the second quarter and

tallied the game’s final touchdown in the fourth quarter, scor-

ing on a two-yard run.

The Bomber defense held Springfield to 166 rushing yards

and eight points. The Pride came in averaging 28 points and

249 rushing yards per game and converted just four-of-17

attempts on third and fourth down.

Senior linebacker Matt Scalice led Ithaca with a game-best

11 tackles. Senior linebacker John Scanlon added nine. Both

were in on two of Ithaca’s season-high 15 tackles for loss.

Senior cornerback Jason Chier made six tackles and intercepted

a pass. Sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble was in on a

career-high three tackles for loss. Sophomore strong safety

David Ahonen recorded five tackles, including a career-best

two for loss. Junior defensive end Adam Drescher recovered

a fumble and collected a sack.

Sophomore quarterback Brian Grastorf completed all six

of his throws for a career-best 110 yards in the third and

fourth quarters. He threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to senior

wide receiver Kyle Crandall in the third quarter. Crandall led

all receivers with career-best totals of nine catches and 162

yards. Senior Dan Juvan threw for 133 yards, completing 10

of 19 passes.

Sophomore running back Dan Ruggiero ran for 64 yards on

just five carries. Sophomore wideout Thomas Vossler caught

three passes and senior tight end Brian Weverbergh caught

two.

Freshman Andrew Rogowski kicked a 22-yard field goal and

added extra points after four of Ithaca’s five touchdowns.

Ithaca (9-1) 7 7 7 14 — 35

Cortland (9-1) 0 10 3 0 — 13

Cortland, N.Y.— The #17 Bombers beat previously unbeaten

Cortland 35-13 in front of 10,300 fans at the 50th annual

Cortaca Jug game; in conjunction with the game, the Red

Dragons had honored their 1988 team which had been the

program’s only team to post an undefeated regular season (the

Bombers beat Cortland in the NCAA East Region final on their

way to the national championship).

Junior quarterback Brian Grastorf threw for three touch-

downs and rushed for two more in his first career start and

senior cornerback Jason Chier tied a school record with three

interceptions.

Grastorf, the first Bomber quarterback to make his first

career start in the Cortaca Jug game, completed 19-of-28

passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for

two one-yard scores; all four figures were career bests. Senior

Kyle Crandall caught four catches for a game-high 114 yards

and two scores and junior Dan Ruggiero came off the bench

to rush for 96 yards – the highest total surrendered all year by

the Red Dragons – and catch a touchdown pass.

Chier finished with seven tackles and two pass breakups

along with his three interceptions. Two of his pickoffs came

in the end zone and the other was at his own two; one of his

pass break-ups came in the end zone as well.

Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen made nine tackles

intercepted a pass in the end zone on Cortland’s final play from

scrimmage. Sophomore linebacker Morgan Abdelnour added a

career-high nine tackles. Senior linebacker Matt Scalice added

eight tackles and raised his career total to 261, good for 11th

on the program’s all-time list.

Crandall caught a 14-yard pass from Grastorf with 9:44 left

in the first quarter to give Ithaca a 7-0 lead. Crandall turned a

short crossing pass from Grastorf into an 80-yard touchdown

with 1:26 left in the half and a 32-yard screen pass to Ruggiero

for a touchdown created a 21-13 Bomber lead.

Grastorf capped the scoring with a pair of on-year touch-

down runs – the first two of his career – in the fourth quarter.

The second was set up when sophomore defensive end Matt

Dibble forced a fumble on a sack that senior defensive tackle

John Cirba recovered.

Ithaca (8-1, 5-1) 0 22 14 7 — 43

Alfred (6-3, 3-2) 7 14 0 14 — 35

Alfred, N.Y.— Juniors Brian Grastorf and Dan Ruggiero came

off the bench to lead the #18 Bombers to a 43-35 win that

clinched a share of the Empire 8 title.

Ruggiero entered in the second quarter to record a career-

high 192 rushing yards and four scores. Grastorf came in with

5:30 left in the half and led five scoring drives in his first six

possessions, helping Ithaca score 30 points – erasing a 21-13

Alfred lead – before Ithaca stopped Alfred twice on fourth

down in the final 2:09.

Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen broke up a fourth-

down pass with 2:09 left to thwart one drive. On the Saxons’

final possession, they drove to the Ithaca one, but threw three

incomplete passes – one was broken up by senior cornerback

Jason Chier in the end zone.

The Bombers took the lead for good on the final play of the

first half. Freshman Andrew Rogowski kicked a career-long

26-yard field goal after sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble

set up the score by intercepting a screen pass and running it

back 43 yards to the Alfred 11.

Grastorf completed nine of 16 passes for 161 yards against

the nation’s sixth-ranked pass defense and threw a 76-yard

touchdown pass to senior wideout Kyle Crandall, who led

Ithaca with 115 yards on three catches.

Ithaca’s offensive line turned in its strongest performance

of the yearby posting its fourth sack-free performance in the

last five games.

Chier made a career-best 10 tackles, blocked a field goal

and recovered a fumbled Alfred kickoff. Junior defensive

tackle Joe Goetz also blocked a Saxon field goal try. Senior

linebacker Matt Scalice led the Bombers with 15 tackles. Senior

linebacker John Scanlon added nine tackles, with two for loss.

Freshman cornerback Spencer White matched a career high

with eight tackles. Sophomore linebacker Morgan Abdelnour

made his first start and had a career-best seven tackles.

Ahonen made six tackles – with a career-high three for

loss – and forced a fumble that junior defensive end Adam

Drescher recovered. Junior strong safety Roniel Bencosme

made two tackles for loss, both on pass plays.

Curry 26, #12 ITHACA 21

NCAA First-Round Playoff Game

Curry (10-1) 6 0 12 8 — 26

Ithaca (9-2) 7 7 7 0 — 21

ITHACA, N.Y.— The seventh-seeded Curry Colonels scored

the game-winning touchdown with 32 seconds left in a 26-21

win over the second-seeded Bombers in the NCAA playoffs.

The Bombers took over on their own 39 with 30 seconds

left. Following a 20-yard pass from junior quarterback Brian

Grastorf to senior wide receiver Kyle Crandall on Ithaca’s first

play and a pass interference penalty on Curry that moved the

ball to the Colonel 25, the Bombers threw three incomplete

passes to end the game.

Ithaca had taken its final lead late in the third quarter on

a touchdown set up by a blocked punt. Senior Matt Samela

blocked a Curry punt that senior teammate Craig Liebler recov-

ered on the Colonel 14. Two plays later Crandall caught a

10-yard touchdown pass from Grastorf.

A pair of Ithaca touchdowns put the Bombers up 14-6

after the Colonels had scored on their first dive of the game.

Grastorf threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end

Brian Weverbergh midway through the first quarter and the

first of three extra points by freshman Andrew Rogowski gave

the Bombers their first lead.

Late in the second quarter senior linebacker Matt Scalice

recovered a fumble on a Colonel punt return on the Curry

18-yard line. Five plays later, sophomore Dan Ruggiero scored

on a five-yard run.

Ruggiero gained a game-high 138 rushing yards on a

Bomber playoff-record 33 carries. Crandall was Ithaca’s lead-

ing receiver with three catches for 52 yards; his career average

of 21.5 yards per reception is second all-time at Ithaca.

Weverbergh caught three passes and broke his own year-old

school record for tight ends, finishing with 50 catches.

Senior linebacker John Scanlon led Ithaca’s defense with

10 tackles. Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen made

nine tackles (including six solo stops), blocked the extra point

attempt after the Colonels’ second touchdown and broke up

the conversion pass following their third attempt.

Senior cornerback Jason Chier intercepted his school-record

tying eighth pass of the year, blocked an extra point, tackled

Curry’s holder on an aborted field goal attempt and blocked a

Colonel field goal attempt on the final play of the first half.

Director of

Intercollegiate Athletics

Ken Kutler is in his seventh

year as Ithaca’s director of

intercollegiate athletics and

recreational sports.

Kutler came to Ithaca after

serving as director of athletics

at two other Division III institutions: Frostburg State

University (1978 to 1986) and Hartwick College

(1986 to 2003). At Hartwick, he oversaw a 24-sport

intercollegiate athletic program (including two sports

that competed at the Division I level).

He is a past president of the Empire 8 athletic

conference. Kutler spent 10 years as women’s soccer

coach at Hartwick (1986 to 1993 and again in 2001

and 2002) and guided the Hawks to five appearances

in the NCAA championship tournament.

He is a 1964 graduate of East Stroudsburg Univer-

sity, where he was an all-region soccer player. Kutler

holds a master’s degree in education from Temple

University and a doctorate in education from West

THOMAS R. ROCHON

President

Thomas R. Rochon became the

eighth president of Ithaca Col-

lege on July 1, 2008. He holds

a doctorate and a bachelor’s de-

gree in political science from the

University of Michigan, where he

graduated with high distinction.

Prior to his selection as the president of Ithaca Col-

lege, Rochon served as executive vice president of

the University of St. Thomas, a master’s comprehen-

sive university in Minnesota, where he oversaw the

university’s eight schools and colleges and, with the

chief administrative officer, shared responsibility for

the $150 million university budget. He worked to de-

velop the academic vision of each unit and to set stra-

tegic directions; reorganized academic programs to

create the School of Engineering; and helped launch

a capital campaign centered on endowment support

of students and faculty. An engaged civic leader,

Rochon championed a university effort to strengthen

community service and partnership activities in St.

Paul, leading to Carnegie Foundation classification

for community engagement. Along with his adminis-

trative responsibilities, he was a tenured professor in

St. Thomas’s political science department.

Rochon has an extensive history of accomplish-

ments as an educator and academic administrator.

Before his position at St. Thomas, as executive direc-

tor of the Graduate Record Examinations program at

the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Rochon was

responsible for determining program policy under the

oversight of the board and the ETS vice president for

graduate and professional education. He guided the

addition of analytical writing to the test, the first use

of an essay in the GRE program; he also developed

and implemented a program to empower universities

to create their own test prep courses for graduate pro-

grams. He has held positions in the top leadership at

prominent universities: dean of the School of Politics

and Economics at Claremont Graduate University and

assistant master of Dean Mathey College at Princeton

University. He also held the post of assistant profes-

sor in the politics department at Princeton University

for eight years.

Rochon came to Ithaca College with a distin-

guished record of scholarly research. His work fo-

cuses on contemporary European politics and social

movements in Europe and the United States. He is the

recipient of numerous grants and awards, including

the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the Collec-

tive Behavior and Social Movements section of the

American Sociological Association, and the Susan

Louise Dyer Peace Fellowship at the Hoover Institu-

tion on War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford Uni-

versity. Rochon was also a Fulbright lecturer at Kobe

University in Japan. His 1998 book, Culture Moves:

Ideas, Activism, and Changing Values, received a

Distinguished Scholarship Prize from the American

Sociological Association and was named by Choice

an outstanding academic book of 1998. He has given

periodic lectures and seminars on Dutch politics for

embassy personnel of the U.S. Department of State

and has served on numerous advisory boards.

Since childhood Rochon has been an avid base-

ball card collector. He developed an interest in older

cards, including those dating from the 1880s, and is

an active user of the eBay online auction site.

Rochon is married to wife, Amber, who until re-

cently worked in a shelter that provided accommoda-

tion to teenage girls; she is looking forward to continu-

ing her work in the Ithaca community. The Rochons

welcomed a son, William (Liam) in May 2009.
