SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC 2 AT T2MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH JAY VIDOVICHJay Vidovich was named as T2’s first head coach for the 2015 USL season on Dec. 18, 2014. Vidovich leads T2 after 21 seasons as head coach at Wake Forest Univer-sity, where he has become one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history.

Vidovich, who also serves as an assistant coach for the Portland Timbers first team, joins T2 as one of the most widely regarded soccer coaches at the collegiate level in the United States and an astute developer of talent. The 54-year-old Detroit na-tive has seen many of his players at Wake Forest advance to the professional ranks, including 11 first-round MLS SuperDraft selections since 2005. In total, 29 of Vidovich’s Wake Forest players have been selected by MLS clubs during the MLS SuperDraft since 2000, including U.S. Men’s National Team defender Michael Parkhurst and longtime MLS mainstays Brian Carroll and James Riley. Recently, Vidovich has helped develop players that have made the jump to MLS including Sam Cronin, Ike Opara and former U.S. U-17 National Team captain Jared Watts.

Joining the Demon Deacons as an assistant coach in 1986, Vidovich accepted the role of head coach in 1994 and has built Wake Forest into an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) soccer powerhouse. Under Vidovich’s guidance, Wake Forest reached the NCAA Tournament in 13 of the past 14 seasons and cap-tured five ACC regular-season championships. The program made four consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances from 2006-2009 and won its first NCAA National Championship in 2007.

Vidovich, who was named NSCAA National Coach of the Year in consecutive seasons (2007, 2008), com-piled a 272-121-50 (.670) overall record in 21 years as head coach at Wake Forest. He earned five ACC Coach of the Year Awards (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009), while also logging a 76-52-22 (.580) overall conference record. Outside of the Demon Deacons program, Vidovich also spent time as an assistant coach with the U.S. U-18 National Team in 2009 and as a scout for the U.S. U-23 National Team under Timbers head coach Caleb Porter.

As a player, Vidovich spent one season at Indiana University in 1978 before transferring to Ohio Wesleyan where he was a three-year starter and captained the team to the NCAA semifinals in 1982. Vidovich received a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Ohio Wesleyan, before proceeding to the University of Denver where he earned a master’s degree in sports sciences in 1983.

While at Denver, he began his coaching career as an assistant on the Pioneers’ 1982 team that won the NAIA Division II district and regional championships. In 1983, Vidovich moved to Regis College as an assistant coach, helping guide a team that included two NAIA All-Americans. Prior to earning a job as an assistant at Wake Forest under head coach Walt Chyzowych in 1986, Vidovich returned to his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan, as an assistant coach from 1984-1985.

Vidovich holds a USSF “A” license and a NSCAA Advanced National Diploma.

He and his wife, Julie, have two daughters, Zoe and Tess.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC 2 AT T2MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015

SCOUTING SOUNDERS FC 2Seattle enters Monday’s match following a 1-0 victory over Real Monarchs SLC on June 25 at Starfire Stadium. Seattle has struggled on the road (1-4-2), sus-taining their most recent defeat in a 2-1 loss to Arizona United SC on June 20. S2 have scored nine goals in seven games on the road and rank fourth in goals (27) and tied for third in assists (18) among all USL teams through 15 games.

T2 COACHING STAFFHead coach Jay Vidovich’s staff includes two assistant coaches with roots in the Timbers organization. Assistant coach Andrew Gregor spent three seasons with the second-division Timbers during his 12-year professional playing career. A standout with the University of Portland in college, Gregor appeared in 50 league games for the Timbers, tallying 10 goals and eight assists. In 2004, he helped the Timbers capture a regular-season title and earned all-league honors in 2007 while leading the club to the semifinal of the USL First Division playoffs. Gregor, who is also the head coach of the Timbers U-16 Academy team, was named one of the Top 25 USL players of the decade (2000-10).

Assistant coach/goalkeeper coach Steve Reese spent two seasons as goalkeep-er with the Timbers second division side in 2007 and 2008. An Oregon native, Reese has served as a coach at the college and professional level, spending time with Thorns FC of the National Women’s Soccer League in 2014, as well as serving as a coach with the Timbers Academy.

TIMBERS TIES

The T2 roster includes a number players with previous ties to the Timbers. A Camas, Wash., native, Brent Richards was the Timbers first Homegrown Player signing in club history in 2012 and made six appearances (2 starts) during his rookie season. 2012 Timbers Young Player of the Year, Richards played in nine matches with the first team across all competitions and was the second-leading scorer for the Timbers Reserves with four goals in 2012.

Midfielder Steven Evans spent the past two seasons with the MLS Timbers after signing as a Homegrown Player with the club prior to the 2013 season. Born-and-bred in Portland, Evans was a standout at the University of Portland and played four seasons with the Timbers U-23s Premier Development League (PDL) team, where he helped the side win a 2010 PDL title. Last year on loan to Sacra-mento Republic FC, Evans helped the first-year club win the USL championship.

Forward Kharlton Belmar joins T2 after being selected in the second round (No. 34 overall) in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by the Timbers. Last year, Belmar spent the season as a member of the Timbers U-23s, where he tallied eight goals and one assist in 14 games. After earning a spot on the PDL All-Western Conference Team, Belmar was named the Timbers U-23s Player of the Year in 2014.

PORTLAND CONNECTION

T2 midfielder Blair Gavin has a connection to Portland through his older brother, Michael. Michael, who is three years older than Blair, played collegiately at the University of Portland from 2004-07. The elder Gavin was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by the LA Galaxy. The younger Gavin was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by Chivas USA following a standout career at the University of Akron from 2007-09.

T2 INTERNATIONAL PRESENCEIncluding players on loan, the T2 roster features eight players representing seven different countries. Jeanderson (Brasil) Santiago Biglieri (Argentina), Rennico Clarke (Jamaica), Harrison Delbridge (Australia), Jake Gleeson and Tim Payne (New Zealand), Fatawu Safiu (Ghana), Schillo Tshuma (Zimbabwe) and Rundell Winchester (Trinidad and Tobago) round out the T2 international players.

AVERAGE AGE

Not including players on loan to the club, the average overall age of the T2 roster checks in at a youthful, 23.4 years-old. The team’s youngest signed player is 19-year-old Jamaican defender Rennico Clarke, while the oldest is defender Danny O’Rourke (31).

SOUNDERS FC 2 STANDOUTSSeattle Sounders FC 2 forward Andy Craven leads Seattle with five goals this season and ranks tied for third in assists (5) among all USL players. Forwards Pablo Rossi and Darwin Jones have also tallied five goals for S2 this season.

T2 TALISMANT2 have scored 19 goals in league play. Individually, forward Kharlton Belmar ranks tied for third overall in the league with seven goals scored in 14 matches. Belmar has registered a brace in two matches this season, including a 2-0 vic-tory over Arizona United SC on April 25. Belmar has scored three goals at home, including the club’s first-ever goal in USL in the inaugural home game against Real Monarchs on March 29 in which he scored his first brace.

ON LOAN FROM THE FIRST TEAMT2 can expect to see several players from the Timbers first-team squad on loan for matches during the season. First-team defenders Taylor Peay and Andy Thoma have made eight and 12 league appearances for T2, respectively. Mid-fielder Nick Besler has made 11 apperances (9 starts), while forward Michael Nanchoff has appeared five times in league play (all starts).

GLEESON IN GOAL

Jake Gleeson has started 12 USL matches for T2 this season. He ranks third in USL in saves (47) and seventh in saves per game (3.92). Gleeson recorded a season-high eight saves in a 3-1 win at Tulsa Roughnecks FC on May 30 and has recorded two shutouts this season.
