A staple of the Rut-gers men’s soccerprogram, Bob Reassoembarks on his 29thseason at the helm ofthe Scarlet Knights.He has defined and re-defined success nu-merous times duringhis nearly three-decade long Rutgerscareer, firmly plantinghimself among a pres-tigious list of thegame's most success-ful coaches of all-time.With 350 career vic-tories and a winningpercentage approach-ing 70 percent, Re-asso enters his 29thterm "On the Banks"ranked in the top 10 inwins among active coaches.

A pillar in the soccer coaching fraternity, Reasso was recently recog-nized for his outstanding achievements through the years with inductioninto the Soccer Coaches of New Jersey Hall of Fame. Reasso was joinedby several prominent members of the soccer community, including fourNational Team players and a number of head coaches who enjoyed illus-trious careers on both the high school and collegiate levels. Illustratinghis far reaching influence on the sport was the fact that also among theinductees was former Scarlet Knight All-American and National Teammember Peter Vermes.

His unmatched dedication and passion to the Rutgers soccer programhas long been valued by not only his players and staff, but the entire Uni-versity where he has served for almost 30 years. In what has been along and storied history with the school, Reasso experienced a personalcrowning achievement in 2005 when he was honored as a "Loyal Son ofRutgers" - an distinction bestowed upon only the most respected individ-uals involved with the University. Reasso became just the sixth headcoach with the school who graduated from a university other than Rut-gers to receive the prestigious honor.

The secret to Reasso's success is displayed in his passion, commitmentand determination. His infectious attitude and everlasting commitmentto the well-being of his players and all those associated with the programmake Rutgers one of the nation's premier college soccer destinations.

Under Reasso's tutelage, Rutgers has advanced to the semifinals of theBIG EAST Championship in eight of 10 appearances, including a thrillingsemifinal match against top-seeded St. John's in 2003, which was de-cided in the fifth and final round of penalty kicks.

In the past 28 years, Reasso has produced 13 NCAA Tournament ap-pearances, three Final Four efforts and six league championships withthe Scarlet Knights. He has also won 10 or more matches in 21 of thepast 28 seasons, reached the 15-win mark on seven occasions and has

reached 20 wins twice.

The 2006 Rutgers soccer season tested the true determination andcommitment of the team. After starting the season with four losses infive games, the Scarlet Knights were facing one of the most difficulttasks in athletics: turning a season around with a limited number ofgames remaining. Not only did the Scarlet Knights manage to turn thatlosing record into a winning one, but they also rattled off a nine-game un-beaten streak to end the season, qualified for two postseason tourna-ments and finished with a 10-6-3 overall mark.

Reasso's 300th career win on November 25, 2001, in an NCAA Tour-nament second-round match-up with Connecticut, entered him into anelite group that now totals 13 active coaches that have reached the300-win milestone. A 15-7-3 record and a national ranking of No. 9 in2001 only adds to the outstanding accomplishments for one of the na-tion's premier college coaches.

In 2003, Reasso achieved yet another milestone in his tenure with theScarlet Knights, posting his 300th victory at Rutgers on Oct. 3, 2003.The victory came against San Diego State and head coach Lev Kirshner,one of the many former players under Reasso that have gone on to earnsuccessful careers in the coaching world. The Scarlet Knights advancedto the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2003, finishing theyear with an 11-7-3 record.

Every great college program is built on a solid foundation and the founda-tion at Rutgers, while supported by its players, relies heavily on the coach-ing of Reasso. Twenty-seven years ago, Reasso assumed the coachingduties for a program that had only one winning season in 13 seasonsprior to his arrival. Since then, Reasso has, through sheer hard work, un-paralleled determination and an eye for talent, built a strong foundationand established Rutgers as one of the premier soccer programs in thenation. Reasso's Scarlet Knights have been on the cutting edge of collegesoccer for many years now, competing with the top teams in the countryon a regular basis and providing area soccer fans with highly-competitivesoccer action and entertainment for nearly three decades.

HEAD COACH BOB REASSO

Reasso provided immediate dividends for Rutgers upon his appointmentthat have lasted throughout his storied tenure at the helm of the ScarletKnights. Under his tutelage, Rutgers produced an astonishing 24-con-secutive seasons without a losing record - an achievement which hasbeen unmatched by any current head coach with 20 or more years atthe same school.

Reasso has not only developed a quality soccer team, but he has as-sembled a quality soccer program; a program that wins often, at-tracts fans and promotes pride in both the Rutgers and New Jerseysoccer communities.

The overflow crowds at NCAA Tournament matches, the hosting of theBIG EAST Championships and the prior successes of the Philips/adidassoccer tournament each year further solidifies Reasso's impact on soc-cer not only at Rutgers but throughout the state of New Jersey. He hasassembled a program that attracts the top talent in the world, but be-gins with the top players in New Jersey, one of the nation's hotbeds ofsoccer talent. His roster is dotted with players from as far away asEgypt, but as near as North Brunswick, all coming together to contributeto the ever-growing success of the Rutgers soccer program.

What Reasso has done is simply established Rutgers as a force in theworld of college soccer. Such a seemingly simple task has been carefullynurtured by Reasso, to the point where opposing fans circle the date ontheir calendars when they will face the Scarlet Knights. It is also to thepoint where the atmosphere of every home match reaches a fever pitchand takes on a playoff atmosphere -- intimidating opposing clubs and pro-viding an enjoyable experience for area soccer fans.

In the past 28 seasons, 15 Scarlet Knights have earned All-Americahonors (20 total awards) and 50 have moved onto professional soccersince 1987, both in the United States and abroad. Rutgers soccer isrepresented well not only in New Jersey, but around the world. Formerplayers such as Alexi Lalas, Peter Vermes, Jeff Zaun, Jon Conway,Hamisi Amani-Dove and Josh Gros have done much to carry the Rut-gers tradition of success beyond the confines of Yurcak Field.

As committed as Reasso is to building a championship-caliber programand winning a national championship for the Rutgers soccer community,

Reasso is evenmore committed toanother importantfacet of his life - hisfamily. A devotedfamily man, husbandand father of two,Reasso has beenable to find that per-fect blend of familyand career. Hiscommitment to hisfamily and the val-ues he holds dearare emphasized tohis players on a con-sistent basis. Re-asso's family is aconstant presence

at Rutgers, supporting him and his players at each and every match.

Reasso also works with several charities and plays a major role as a vol-unteer with the youth soccer programs in New Jersey, serving as a NewJersey State coach for two years. He has served as the head coach ofthe New Jersey soccer team that participated in the International Spe-cial Olympics on two occasions (1989 and 1995). He also hosts a youthcamp during the summer at Rutgers, one of the biggest soccer campson the East Coast.

A renowned teacher of the game, prominent coaches who received theirstart under Reasso include St. John's head coach Dave Masur, a formerScarlet Knight All-American who has built the Red Storm into a perennialnational power. Masur heads a long list of former assistants and playerswho have continued Reasso’s soccer lineage at other institutions. In-cluded on this list are Alexi Lalas (Soccer Analyst, ESPN), Lev Kirshner(head coach, San Diego State), Brian Sentowski (head coach, MontclairState), Jake Weber (head coach, Montclair High School), Pedro Lopes(head coach, NJIT), Lenny Armuth (head coach, Drew University), MattFriel (assistant coach, Monmouth University), Guy Abrahamson (headcoach, St. Peter’s College), Dennis Ludwig (assistant coach, Rutgers-Camden), Steve Widdowson (head coach, Millersville University), NelsonRodriguez (Senior Vice President with Major League Soccer), and TimMulqueen (goalkeeper coach of the United States Youth National teams)along with many other alums that serve coaching positions at the youthand club level which carried the torch from Rutgers around the nation.

Reasso has surrounded himself with a coaching staff of proven win-ners and close friends in three former Rutgers players Jeff Zaun (as-sociate head coach), David Boutiler (assistant coach) and Tim Summiel(assistant coach).

Reasso, the player, was an all-conference and all-district performer atPfeiffer University in Misenheimer, North Carolina, graduating in 1973.He was the team's most valuable performer as a senior and, in 1993,the university honored him as a distinguished alumnus. Just two yearslater, he was inducted into the school's athletic Hall of Fame. Reassowas recently inducted into the Raritan High School Hall of Fame.

DID YOU KNOW......On Oct. 3, 2003, Coach Reasso won his300th game as head coach at Rutgers. Heenters his 29th season “on the Banks” sev-enth in wins among active head coaches and15th in all-time victories.

2009 OUTLOOKRutgers’ 2008 squad featured a youthful presence with its freshmanand sophomore class making up 23 of the 30 players on the roster.With such an inexperienced group, the Scarlet Knights were sure toendure their share of ups and downs. However, those growing painshave served the team in a positive fashion as they embark on the2009 campaign. With a productive offseason behind them, they lookpoised to return Rutgers to its once prominent place in college soccer.

Although the Scarlet Knightsreturn 15 letterwinners andnine starters, Rutgers will bewithout one of its most prolificoffensive options in the attack-ing third with the absence offormer All-BIG EAST selectionDilly Duka. In two seasons, thesecond team all-conferencepick scored 10 goals (fourgame-winners) and tallied fiveassists in 36 career games.He displayed his game on theinternational level during thesummer of 2009, competingwith the U.S. U20 National

Team and helped the squad advance to the World Cup before decidingto forgo his final two years of collegiate eligibility to pursue his profes-sional career.

Of the six players returning for their second season, all have played inat least 15 of the 18 contests during their freshman season, includingthree with double-digit starts. They join an equally battle-tested juniorclass which has seen action in at least 20 collegiate games, with fiveplayers who have appeared in over 35 matches for their careers, help-ing form a solid nucleus of returners.

Following the 2008 season, head coach Bob Reasso and his staffsought to add a few key components to the rotation and the grouphopes to have achieved that goal with the addition of several standoutplayers. The Scarlet Knights’ newest incoming class features six ofeight first team all-state selections, including five Olympic DevelopmentProgram participants.

Serving as an extension of the coachon the field will be a trio of juniors inPaulie Calafiore, Josh Carroll andYannick Salmon. They will don thecaptain’s armband in 2009 and helpto guide and provide excellent leader-ship for a team that is continuing tomature and find its form.

FORWARDSThe Scarlet Knight attack suffered amajor loss with the departure ofDuka who accounted for eight of Rut-gers’ 18 goals on the season. His of-fensive performance was provedvaluable for RU on a number of occa-sions as he scored game-winners intwo separate contests and assisted to the deciding goal once.

Despite the loss of the steady veteran,the Scarlet Knights return a numberof talented and well-equipped optionsup front to help should the offensiveload. Rutgers returns a trio of dynamicsophomores in Sam Archer, GaetanoPanuccio and Ibrahim Kamara – eachof which found the back of the net inthe first collegiate seasons.

Archer started 14 of 17 games lastseason, scoring two goals and tallyinga pair of assists, while Panuccioscored two goals –both game-winners– and recorded an assists in 17games (13 starts) of action. Kamara,who was a late arrival to preseasoncamp, showed flashes of his brillianceearly, scoring his lone goal of the season in his collegiate debut.

Joining the group is senior forward Charlie Cox who has appeared in24 career games as a Scarlet Knight. At 6-4, the North Yorkshire,England native provides a big target for RU in the attacking third.

MIDFIELDERSThere will be a number of changes inthe Scarlet Knight midfield, with sopho-more Robbie McLarney serving as thelone constant. The former GatoradePlayer of the Year started all 17games he played in and will returns toman his center midfield position.

Brazilian-native Guilherme Dantas willlook to settle into the midfield rotationafter being slowed by an injury duringhis first season with the ScarletKnights. The senior enjoyed a solidspring season and is poised to con-tribute in RU’s offensive attack.

Among the players giving the Scarlet Knight midfield a new look will bejunior Chris Edwards and sophomore Byrant Knibbs. The pair playedprimarily on the back line during their time at RU, with Edwards start-ing 30 of 35 matches as a back in two seasons, while Knibbs ap-peared in 16 contests in his rookie year.

Rutgers will also receive a boost from South Carolina transfer DaveMcVane. A native of upstate New York, the former youth NationalTeam player started 17 contests for the Gamecocks, tying the teamlead with four assists as a rookie. The Scarlet Knights will receive helpfrom a number of transfers including Nathan Bourdeau and Alex Silver.Bourdeau saw action in 19 games with Boston College, scoring a goaland tallying an assist, while Silver spent three seasons at Old Domin-ion, appearing in 11 contests.

Adding depth to the rotation in the midfield will be sophomore NyeWinslow and freshmen Dan Parr and Averil Ringheim. Winslow ap-peared in 15 games and showed flashes of his ability as the season

2009 OUTLOOKprogressed, while Parr is coming off an all-state high school campaign.

BACKSA unit comprised nearly of all juniors, the Scarlet Knight defense is oneof the most seasoned on the roster led by center backs Josh Carrolland Yannick Salmon. Both players transferred to Rutgers a year agoand quickly found their place in the rotation. The pair, along with fellowback Paulie Calafiore, will serve as the most experienced on the de-fense and will provide much needed leadership to a young RU squad.

Carroll and Salmon both all-state se-lections during their scholastic dayswere the only two field players tostart all 18 games in 2008. Carrollhelped add to RU’s offensive produc-tion with a goal and an assist on theseason.

Calafiore was slowed by an injuremidway through the season in2008 but managed 12 starts in 13games and his experience on thepitch will prove valuable for the Scar-let Knights.

One player making the switch to theback line will be junior Aly Mazharafter serving as a midfielder during

his first two seasons on the Banks. Although he will shift to a defensiverole this season, the Egyptian national possesses a wealth of game ex-perience having started 32 of 37 career contests with two goals andan assist.

Also providing veteran leadership among the group will be junior SalFusari who appeared in 14 games last season and scored a goal in hisfirst year with the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers will also welcome the re-turn of defenders Andrew Cuevas and Marty Stern along with new-comer Dave King to help add depth in the defensive third.

GOALKEEPERSFor the second-straight season, the Scarlet Knights will have a newman between the posts following the graduation of last year’s full-timestarter Amir Haghshenas who earned the nod in all 18 contests.

Sophomores Adam Klink, Ibrahim Khafagy, and freshman Jake Grinke-vich will all compete and vie for the starting spot in the fall. Klink was the2007 Southeastern District Goalkeeper of the Year out of Virginia,while Khafagy gained international experience as a pool player for theU20 Egyptian National team. The pair saw extensive action during train-ing sessions as rookies and will serve as capable replacements in goal.

Adding depth will be Grinkevich, a two-time first team all-state selec-tion, who was named the Shore Goalie of the Year by The Star-Ledgerand ended his high school career with 46 shutouts. The newest addi-tion to the group of goalkeepers Alex Morgans, a sophomore transferfrom George Mason, can also find his way in the mix. The former all-state selection has experience on the collegiate level after playing in apair of contests as a freshman.

SCHEDULEEach year, Rutgers boasts one ofthe toughest schedules in collegesoccer and 2009 will be no differ-ent for RU. The Scarlet Knights willplay a 17-game regular seasonschedule which features nine homecontests and eight matches on theroad, including five teams that fin-ished in the NSCAA/adidas finalrankings and participated in the2008 NCAA Championship.

2008 YEAR IN REVIEWIn 2008, the Rutgers men’s soccer program featured one of theyoungest squads in the nation and one of the most unseasonedgroups in head coach Bob Reasso’s nearly 30-year tenure. On a ros-ter of 30 student-athletes, 23 were either freshmen or sophomoreswhich at times compounded the Scarlet Knights’ up and down play onthe field. The team’s youth was clearly illustrated in the fact that 90percent of the minutes consumed by field players – excluding the sen-ior goalkeeper – were by individuals with just one year or less ofgame-time experience.

The 2008 season included a number of exciting games featuring 11BIG EAST teams, four of which were nationally-ranked and severalother very competitive squads. Although the team’s losses ended theseason just shy of the BIG EAST Championship, the Scarlet Knightspoured their hearts into each and every match.

“It’s taken more time than I’ve expected to rebuild this program,” saidReasso. “We knew we were going to be young. Take our goalkeeperout of the mix and 90 percent of the minutes by our 10 field playerswere freshmen or sophomores.”

The Scarlet Knights did have three seniors on their roster, however,only two were available to see game action as co-captain RyanBreznitsky missed the year due to concussion syndrome. The loss wasa major blow for a Rutgers squad that lacked a great deal of veteranleadership. Although Breznitsky was unable to provide a boost on thefield, his big-game experience did translate well in the locker room ashe helped mentor the younger players.

Rutgers did rely on its othertwo seniors in AmirHaghshenas and KevinMcFadden and the pairresponded with solid seasons.In his first year as the regularstarter in goal, Haghshenasraised his level of play and pro-vided the Scarlet Knights withseveral moments of brilliance.McFadden became one of theteam’s biggest catalysts as heorchestrated a number of goal-scoring opportunities. The vet-eran midfielder went on torecord six assists in 2008, amark which ranked tied forthird in the BIG EAST at theend of the regular season.

Among some of the young play-ers that raised their level of play were sophomores Dilly Duka andYannick Salmon as well as freshmen Gaetano Panuccio, RobbieMcLarney and Sam Archer. These underclassmen gave their besteffort in each and every game and were the driving force behind theteam’s play.

Rutgers kicked off its season in Piscataway with a solid start againstDelaware, defeating the Bluehens 2-1. Facing a one-goal deficit in thefirst half, highly-touted freshman Ibrahim Kamara delivered the equaliz-er in the second half, while Josh Carroll scored the game winner in

the second overtime to secure the win.

The first game of the year proved indicative of how much of the sea-son would play out as the Scarlet Knights found it difficult to get out toa quick start and were outscored 9-3 in the first half of games.Although RU held a 15-13 advantage in goals following the intermis-sion, Rutgers was 2-5 for the season in games that its opponentsscored in the first half.

“We grew up a lot during the season but it still was a very disappoint-ing year,” said Reasso. “I don’t think we got the results that our goodplay deserved but it was also a very exciting year because our younggroup showed a lot of potential. We were fourth in shots and cornerkicks in the BIG EAST at the end of the regular season which meantwe created a lot of opportunities but we didn’t finish our chances.”

The team then went on to defeat Manhattan 3-0 in their second gameduring which McFadden tallied three assists, including two that led toa pair of goals by Duka. For Duka, it was the first of four two-goal per-formances on the year with Rutgers going 4-0 in those contests.

After a 2-0 start to the season, the Scarlet Knights fell short in theirthird game against Towson. The team suffered a 2-1 defeat, despite acomeback attempt led by Archer’s score in the 87th minute to bringRU within range. Archer’s goal, the first of his collegiate career, was ahard earned one as the rookie dribbled past several defenders todeliver a strike past the Towson keeper.

Rutgers continued its season with a very physical battle against St.Peter’s College that ended in a scoreless tie after 110 minutes of play.

Soon after, Rutgers was able to pick up some steam as they handednationally-ranked UC Santa Barbara its first loss of the season, a 3-2 come-from-behind victory. The Gauchos, who were ranked nation-ally by several media outlets, endured the upset as Duka scored twogoals and Panuccio added the game-winner in the second half. Thewin was RU’s firstvictory over aranked opponentsince defeatingUSF on Oct. 20,2007. For theirperformancesagainst UCSB,Duka was namedto the BIG EASTweekly honor roll,while Panucciowas named con-ference Rookie ofthe Week.

Despite coming offof such an emo-tional victory, theScarlet Knightsfound it difficult tokeep its momen-tum going as theywent 0-2-1 in its

first three conference matches. Rutgers opened BIG EAST play on theroad, falling to Pittsburgh 1-0. Panuccio was served a red card with20 minutes left against the Panthers who went on to score the win-ning goal with RU down to 10 men.

As a result of the red card, Panuccio was required to sit out the gameagainst West Virginia, causing a major shift in the Scarlet Knights’lineup. Without one of its top scoring threats in the attacking third,Rutgers finished in a scoreless tie against the Mountaineers.

RU returned home to host No. 24 Georgetown. The Scarlet Knightssuffered a hard-luck loss to the Hoyas as the trend continued for thesquad with Rutgers falling behind in the first two minutes. SophomoreAly Mazhar scored a goal in the 49th minute to tie the game at 1-1. Amissed penalty kick opportunity which would have put the ScarletKnights ahead in the second half proved costly as Georgetown scoredthe game-winner three minutes into the first overtime period.

Rutgers bounced back from the disheartening defeat to earn a victoryat home against Seton Hall. Back-to-back goals in a two minute spanfrom Duka helped to erase a 1-0 deficit as RU defeated its in-stateand conference rival. Duka picked up his second nod of the season tothe BIG EAST weekly honor roll for his play against the Pirates.

The Scarlet Knights went onto face DePaul at Yurcak Fieldin a scoreless tie, followed bya 2-0 loss at Villanova, butRutgers would respond with avaliant 3-2 victory over atough Syracuse team on theroad. The win gave RU threepoints in the conferencestandings and kept their BIGEAST tournament hopes alive.

Although the Scarlet Knightsfound a way to win in theirsee-saw battle againstSyracuse, they were unable tocarry over that winningmomentum into its next threeroad contests. Rutgersdropped three straight, includ-

ing a critical conference matchup. RU lost 3-0 at Princeton, 1-0 atCincinnati and 2-1 at NJIT to close out its five-match road stretch.

Rutgers responded to the three game slide by snapping the brief skidwith an upset victory over 14th-ranked Louisville at Yurcak Field.Extremely wet conditions wreaked havoc on the field and a lighteningdelay suspended play for nearly 45 minutes but that did not unnervethe Scarlet Knights who took an early lead with a goal fromMcLarney. Panuccio would add a second goal to give the ScarletKnights the 2-1 win.

The poor weather conditions against the Cardinals proved to be a har-binger for how the remainder of the season would play out for theScarlet Knights. Severe rains and poor field conditions caused theRutgers-St. John’s matchup to be postponed to the following week.Instead of its scheduled Tuesday matchup with the Red Storm fol-lowed by a three day layoff before closing out the regular season atUSF, RU was forced to travel to Tampa to take on the Bulls onSaturday and return home to face St. John’s on the very next Monday.

Nearly seven days had passed since the team’s upset win over theCardinals and it’s possible that the week-long layover between theLouisville and USF games in addition to the short turnaround from thematchup against the Bulls to hosting St. John’s factored into how theScarlet Knights finished out the year.

Facing three-straight ranked opponents, Rutgers dropped a 1-0 con-test at USF despite outshooting the Bulls. RU returned home tohost St. John’s in a make-up game where it suffered a 1-0 season-ending loss.

Carroll received a red card in the 22nd minute and Rutgers wasforced to play a man down for the remainder of the contest, whichcertainly had an effect on the team’s play. The Scarlet Knights main-tained their hopes to earn a bid into the BIG EAST Championship upuntil its final game of the year, but the final loss kept Rutgers one spotout of the 12-team field.

“I think the short turnaround was one of the reasons we came out flatagainst St. John’s,” said Reasso. “[St. John’s] had an extra day of restand they played at home and didn’t have to travel like we did. We werevery lethargic in the first 10 minutes and they scored early but ourguys showed great courage when we went down a man for 60-some-thing minutes. We continued to battle and create chances.”

This young squad will take the year of experience on the field and useit to continue their growth and development. Reasso and his staff willlook to put the finishing pieces together and victories should translate.

“I know this group is only going to get better,” said Reasso. “There is alot of promise and potential and I’m really excited about the future forthis group. They grew up a lot. They saw a lot of big games.”

A BRIEF HISTORYRutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-grantingdivisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are locat-ed in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, theeighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful offirst-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college waschanged to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featur-ing departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New JerseyAgricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture(now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also establishedduring this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (nowpart of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and aca-demic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College forWomen (later Douglass College and now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners whenUniversity College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GIBill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as TheState University of New Jersey.

A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. Anambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational resi-dential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, theGraduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and librarystudies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work.Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organizationcomprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sci-ences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve lifeboth in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions andstrengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jerseycounties. University-wide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university's goals for the future include the continuedprovision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.

A lifetime New Jersey native witha strong passion for his almamater, Tim Pernetti has come full-circle in becoming one of thenation’s youngest leaders in col-lege athletics. A former student-athlete “On the Banks”, Pernettiwas named Rutgers’ sixthDirector of IntercollegiateAthletics on February 26, 2009.He will oversee 24 men’s andwomen’s intercollegiate teams in

New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the universi-ty’s peer institutions. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has 212employees and an annual budget of approximately $56 million, rough-ly 3 percent of the university’s total $1.8 billion budget.

Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since hereceived a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media fromRutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995.

Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive VicePresident, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, heoversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all net-work programming and content on air, online and across all screensfor the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports.

Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previouslyCSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role inestablishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports program-ming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the presti-gious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and theMultichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008.

Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creatingmulti-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sportscollege sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through acomplicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways toserve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA andhundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAAChampionships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti wasin charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-termagreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference,Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10.

Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 con-ferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proudof establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sportsincluding the establishment of a women’s basketball game of theweek package in 2004 with the BIG EAST Conference.

In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnershipwith the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home ofDivision II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scopeand reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games nowavailable nationally via the broadcast network and online.

Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s andunder-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedentedcoverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also beenat the forefront of the development and creation of the CollegiateNationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurancesports, and innovative original production including CBS CollegeSports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central,NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and theWIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games andevents through wireless microphones on coaches during game action.

Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eightyears at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director ofProgramming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing anddeveloping several ABC Sports properties including college football,the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years,Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with allof the major collegiate conferences.

As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tightend on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commenta-tor for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network andannounced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio.

A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former DanielleBahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinneron the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud par-ents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

RUTGERS IN THE NATIONAL POLLSThe tradition of excellence by the Scarlet Knights on the soccer field, while

impressive on the collegiate level, does not end there. Numerous ScarletKnights have made appearances with the US National Team - both in WorldCup and Olympic competition - but none are more noteworthy than Alexi Lalasand Peter Vermes.

Vermes made his first appearance with the US National Team in 1988, ina match vs. Guatamala, a match which jumpstarted a career of internationalcompetition that spanned 10 years and 72 matches as both a forward and adefender. After being named Male Athlete of the Year by US Soccer in 1988and Olympic Player of the Year for the 1988 Summer Games, Vermes helpedthe US to a bronze medal in the Five-a-Side Tournament, held in 1989. In1990, Vermes was bestowed the honor of captain of the US team and enjoyedhis finest tour of duty statistically, tallying six goals for 12 points in 14 matches.Vermes continued to play with the team through 1993 and returned to nation-al competition in 1997.

Lalas developed into one of the most recognizable soccer stars in theworld, thanks in large part to his participation in the US-hosted 1994 WorldCup. Lalas first joined the National Team in 1990 and played just two gamesduring the 1990 and 1991 seasons. In 1993, Lalas burst onto the scene byscoring the clinching goal in the nation’s 2-0 upset win over England, which car-ried over into his 1994 season, in which he started all 22 games as one of onlyfive players to play every minute of every match during the World Cup. He con-tinued to play with the US National Team and was with the team in 1998 forhis second-consecutive World Cup appearance, establishing himself as one ofthe world’s best marking backs and one of its most marketable stars, culminat-ing in his selection to US Soccer’s All-Century Team.

Vermes and Lalas are just two of the many former RU greats - BillAndracki, Hamisi Amani-Dove, Steve Rammel - that have begun a reputation forexcellence on the global scene. It is a reputation that continues today with cur-rent players who will carry the national torch through the next generation.

WHY SCARLET? WHY KNIGHTS?WHY SCARLET?

Rutgers was a pioneer in establishing a college color, and a pioneer in using a color on the field of sport.

The color scarlet was first proposed in the campus newspaper, The Targum, in May, 1869. It was adopted shortly thereafter.This color was chosen because it is a striking color and because a good scarlet ribbon could be easily obtained. From the time ofits choice by the students, scarlet has been the Rutgers color.

College and university colors and coats of arms were not unusual in the old world but had been little-used in the new world. Theycame into large and vivid use only when athletics began to take rigorous hold in this country.

In the historic first collegiate football game on November 6, 1869, the Princeton team members watched the Rutgers men donturbans and kerchiefs as close to scarlet as possible for team identification.

Even without scarlet shirts, the headgear alone had added another “first,” the custom of wearing caps of a team's college, onelong-copied over the years of football uniform development.

Sports lore at Rutgers has also known terms such as “Scarlet Scourge” and the lasting “Upstream Rutgers!” from the first “big-time” grid venture under George Foster Sanford.

Through the years, scarlet has become embodied inthe literature and songs of the college. Scarlet isidentified with its sons and daughters, and is highlyemblematic of the college itself.

WHY KNIGHTS?

Since its days when the school was officially known asQueen’s College, the athletic teams were referred to asthe Queensmen. Officially serving as mascot figure forseveral football seasons beginning in 1925 was a giant,colorfully felt-covered, costumed representation of anearlier campus symbol, the “Chanticleer.” Though afighting bird of the kind with which other colleges havefound success, to some it bore the connotation of“chicken.” It is also a little-known fact that the NewBrunswick-based broadcast station, WCTC, whichserves as the flagship station of Rutgers athletics, hadits call letters derived from the word “ChanTiCleer.”Chanticleer remained as the mascot and Queensmenas the nickname for some 30 years.

In the early 1950's, in the hope of spurring both theall-around good athletic promise and RU fightingspirit, a campus-wide selection process changed themascot to that of a Knight.

By 1955, the Scarlet Knight had become the newRutgers mascot. The Scarlet-garbed knight, riding aspirited white charger, came to represent a new era -the rejuvenation of first class football “On the Banks.”
