RaGin’ CajunssoCCeR and TRaCk FaCiliTy

Sited just west of Cajun Field, the Ragin’ Cajuns Track/Soccer Facility is one of the most picturesque and modern facilities in the South. Bordered by beautiful southern longleaf pines on two sides, the Ragin’ Cajuns Soccer and Track Facility facility seats approximately 5,000 and contains a 24-seat air-conditioned press box for media coverage. The facility has been the permanent home of the Ragin’ Cajuns soccer squad since 2005 when the infield was redone to provide a 75’ x 120’ soccer field complete with Hybrid Bermuda grass. The field is surrounded by a eight-lane, 400-meter track. The facility was dedicated on Aug. 28, 2005 before the soccer team played to a 1-1 draw vs. Tulsa. In 2006, UL hosted the Sun Belt Conference Soccer Tournament in November of that year. Prior to the new facility, the Cajuns used multiple sites to host home matches. When the program was founded in 2000, UL played its first two seasons at Moore Park in Carencro, La. From 2002-2004, the team moved on campus, hosting matches at Cajun Field.

Returning Statistical ComparisonRagin’ Cajuns Soccer 2010 Preview In 2009, the Ragin’ Cajuns suffered a series of setbacks and injuries that resulted in a less than favorable record on the pitch. But as UL enters the sixth season under the direction of head coach Scot Wieland, the Cajuns will return 21 of 23 players on last season’s roster. On offense, the Cajuns will get back senior Courtney Hofland, who went down with an injury four matches into the year. She is the school’s all-time goal scorer and will be joined by senior Kelli Jestes, who ranks number two in career goals scored. Four more seniors will bring their talents and experience as Chelsea Balestra, Jordan Blevins, Kennedy Richards and Carleigh Martin will help fill out the ranks. Also on the offensive end, UL will see the return of Cayla Chatman who had a breakout season in her freshman campaign last year. Brooke Perry, Maci Andrus and Kayla Henrie also will provide a threat on the offense in their sophomore seasons. On defense, Louisiana should benefit from the return of a group of experienced defenders which includes Allison Baker, Erin Gremillion and Megan Riley. In goal, the Cajuns will have a number of options. Amanda Moorefield returns for her redshirted sophomore year after missing 16 matches with an injury. Sophomore Lauren Berlingo also returns after starting 14 matches before going down to the injury bug. Sophomore Dani Presley also saw time in goal after making the transition from defender to goalkeeper. The Cajuns welcome five freshmen to the fold. Added in with the 10 sophomores, Louisiana has a great core of athletes to solidify the program for the next few years. Louisiana looks for its “offensive-minded” players to boost an offense which averaged only 0.9 goals per match last season. Added to that is what Wieland believes is improved team chemistry and UL may be poised to put together a successful season in 2010. The Ragin’ Cajuns schedule features 20 regular-season matches with three of the first four being played at the Cajuns Soccer Facility. During that opening stretch Louisiana will host Mississippi Valley State (Aug. 22), Houston (Aug. 27) and Lamar (Aug. 29).

Scot Wieland has been at the helm of the Ragin’ Cajuns women’s soccer program since 2005. As a head coach, Wieland has amassed a 114-92-17 overall record in 11 seasons. Injuries and setbacks plagued Weiland and Co. in the 2009 season as the Cajuns limped to a 2-16-1 record after losing four starters early in the season. For the 2008 season, the Cajuns posted an overall record of 5-12-2 and had two players earn All-Louisiana accolades as Taunya Geelhoed and Callie Oliver were named to the 2008 Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-Louisiana Women’s Soccer Collegiate Team. In 2007, Wieland directed the Ragin’ Cajuns soccer team to a record-setting season. The 2007 Cajuns boasted a 9-8-4 season, capturing the most wins in program history. The winning record marked the first time in program history UL’s soccer team concluded the year above .500. During the 2006 and 2007 seasons combined, Wieland has led the Cajuns to 17 total wins with 10 wins in Sun Belt Conference play. Seventeen wins over two years is the most victories for the Cajuns in a two-year span in program history. In his second year at the helm of the Cajuns’ soccer team, Wieland directed the team to an 8-8-4 record, including a 5-4-2 conference mark. Eight wins in a season marked an all-time best for the Cajuns, while five conference wins was the most SBC victories in a season. The .500 record

was the first time in Cajuns’ history that the soccer team finished the year with a non-losing record. In his first season at UL, Wieland led the team to a 4-10-3 overall record and a 2-6-1 Sun Belt Conference record. He earned his first win as head coach of the Cajuns in just his third match. Wieland led UL to a 1-0 victory at the Ragin’ Cajuns Track/Soccer Facility over in-state rival Northwestern State. The win over the Demons marked the first victory over NSU in Lafayette. Under Wieland, Louisiana took in-state foe LSU into overtime for the first time in school history, allowing just one goal – the least amount of goals scored by the Tigers against the Cajuns in school history. In conference play, Wieland earned his first SBC win in his first match as he guided UL to a 1-0 victory on the road against Arkansas State. His first conference home victory came on Oct. 21, 2005 against Troy. The Cajuns used goals from Meredith Smith and Bridgette Adorno to take a 2-1 win over the Trojans. Earlier in the year, Wieland directed the Ragin’ Cajuns to a 1-1 double overtime tie against Denver. The tie marked the first

time in history that the Pioneers did not get the better of the Cajuns and only the second time in the program history that UL scored a goal against DU. Wieland and the Cajuns entered the Sun Belt Conference Tournament to face the No. 1 seeded North Texas Mean Green. Under Wieland’s tutelage, the Cajuns scored a pair of goals and came close to upsetting the top seed. The pair of goals marked the first multi-goal match in the conference tournament for the Cajuns and only the second time in program history that the team scored in the SBC Tournament. Taking over a program that has always had a high standard for academic performance, Wieland’s first year on the job continued this trend of excellence in the classroom. In 2009, 15 players of the 20-man roster (75-percent) maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or above. Of those 15 students, 5 were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioners List (3.5-4.0 GPA). In 2005, 23 players (82-percent) found themselves on the SBC Honor Roll. Of those 23 students, 15 were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioners List (3.5-4.0 GPA) – the most for any UL program in the 2005-06 school year. Since Wieland has been at UL, the soccer team has been in the Top-3 in GPA among all UL sports teams every semester, earning the top GPA three times. 2005: New Coach, New Era Wieland, who guided the Belmont Abbey College women’s soccer team to three undefeated regular season conference

championships in six years, most recently in 2003 and 2004, was named the new head coach of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s women’s soccer program in June 2005.

In six seasons at Belmont Abbey, Wieland’s teams accumulated an 86-38-3 overall record, winning double-digit matches each year, and posted a 58-4-2 record in conference action. Three times his team went undefeated in conference play (1999, 2003 and 2004) and he left the Belmont Abbey program with a 26-match winning streak in CVAC regular season games.

Wieland was named CVAC Coach of the Year in 1999 as well as 2003, when he led the Crusaders to an undefeated CVAC record and won both the CVAC regular season and tournament titles both times. Wieland coached two CVAC Freshman of the Year recipients, four CVAC Player of the Year honorees and had three players named All-Americans. Prior to his stint at BAC, Wieland began his collegiate coaching career at Middle Tennessee in 1998 serving as an assistant coach. His coaching career began in 1993 when he was named head coach at Bishop Verot High School in Ft. Meyers, Fla. Wieland stayed at BVHS through the 1997 season leading the girl’s soccer program to an overall record of 64-15-5. In addition to his collegiate experience, Wieland headed the North Carolina U-19 girl’s ODP program from 1999-2001 and the North Carolina U-16 girl’s ODP program from 2000-2003. In 2003, he led the North Carolina ODP U-15 team to the National Final Four. Wieland played collegiately for the Bethany (W.V.) College men’s soccer team from 1987-1991 and also saw time on the Bethany football team as a place kicker. Wieland received his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Bethany College in 1991.
