UNION UNIVERSITY Season Outlook / Summary 

• 2 0 0 6 S e a s o n O u t l o o k • 

After posting the best season in the eight-year history of the Union University men’s soccer program, the Bulldogs look to do even more in 

2006. Union returns all but one starter from last season’s team that finished just one game away from the NAIA National Tournament. Several 

new additions fill out the roster, however, none more important than the new head coach for the Bulldogs, Clovis Simas. 

Simas has 18 returning players on the varsity team this year, with seven of those players being seniors. Each 

of the seven seniors on the 2006 roster started at some point last season. Ten newcomers dot this very experienced 

roster. All of these players will have the opportunity to contribute to the varsity squad, however some 

will be mainly used to lead the way on the junior varsity team. 

The senior class boast seven players that have contributed greatly to the recent success of this young program. 

Gareth Munro returns as Union’s leading scorer last season with 10 goals, including three game winners. Duncan 

Nicol, Craig Clark, Mark Forrest, Kirk Childers, Marko Pavlovic, and Christopher Prentice will each bring 

their experience and leadership to each match this season. 

Six juniors join the seniors as a very experienced group with plenty of matches under their belt. Of these six 

players, all have started at some point during their Union careers. NAIA All-American, All-Region, and All-Conference 

Benny Crozier brings he team-high 11 assists from a year ago back to the table this season. Chris 

Lean replaces Union’s only lost starter from last season at the goalie position, however, Lean has plenty of 

experience over his career with numerous starts. Colin Bonner, Scott Sinclair, Kyle Sanders, and Bobby Mc- 

Coll complete a group of 13 junior and seniors which will fill out the majority of 

the starting rolls this year. 

The smallest class on this roster is the group of five sophomores. Wagner 

Oliveira, Matthew Lynn, and Inacio Oliveira played a combined 30 varsity matches 

last season with Wagner Oliveira recording four goals. Kenny Shelton and Daniel Cathey played junior 

varsity last season but have the opportunity to contribute and learn from this very experienced varsity squad. 

Ten freshman have earned a spot on the varsity roster in hopes of gaining playing time this season. Tyler 

Newman, Bradley Ward, Rabo Garba, Brendon Kuhlman, Paul Turner, Alessandro Oliveira, Leopold Psongo, 

Isaac Choy, Hanahiah Nyabam, and Marcos Matos will help fill some voids on the varsity squad, with some 

gaining experience on the junior varsity squad. 

The junior varsity squad is made up of 12 players with four sophomores leading the way. Andy Walker, Dustin 

Colbey, Brian Jones, and Michael Lee each return after playing junior varsity last season. Freshmen Justin 

Williamson, Alex Ayris, Tim Cox, Ben Trail, Matt Lautensack, Lucas Neufeld, John Hawley and redshirt player 

Robert Hamilton will attempt to earn their time as they begin their careers in the Union program. 

This team, full of upperclassmen with experience, is ready to make one last run at an NAIA National Tournament. 

Last season left a hunger that hasn’t been quenched yet. And these player know one more win will get 

them to where they want to be. 

• 2 0 0 5 S e a s o n S u m m a r y • 

Union University finished their eighth season of varsity competition with a 13-3-1 overall record and a 3-1-1 conference record. Union started 

the season with a seven game winning streak that was ended by conference foe Cumberland University. Over the duration of the 2005 season, 

Union never lost more that one match in a row. 

The Bulldogs placed second in the TranSouth Conference Regular Season. They made their 

sixth TranSouth Conference Tournament appearance as the No. 2 seed. In the first round 

the Bulldogs topped Martin Methodist College to advance to the championship game, where 

they lost to Cumberland University for the second time on the year to finish runner-up in the 

tournament. However, Union was able to advance to their second 

straight NAIA Region XI tournament because of their high region 

ranking. Union was forced to open play versus their TranSouth rival 

Cumberland, but Union would finally top Cumbelrand for the first time 

in three season chances. This win, made history for Union as they 

advanced to the NAIA Region XI Tournament championship match. 

This was the longest that any Union men’s soccer team had stayed 

alive in NAIA postseason play. The Bulldogs lost the region title 

match to the eventual NAIA National Championions, Lindsey Wilson. 

Union also earned several individual honors during the 2005 season. 

Junior Gareth Munro of Scotland was named to the TranSouth 

All-Conference Team. Sophomore Benny Crozier of Scotland was 

named to the TranSouth All-Conference Team and the NAIA All-Region Team. Head Coach Dr. Darin White was 

named the NSCAA/adidas NAIA South Region Coach of the Year. During the season, Union’s Munro recorded a 

hat trick in a 6-0 win over Campbellsville. This feat helped earn him the TranSouth Conference and NAIA Region 

XI Player of the Week honors. 

In addition to the on the field success of the 2005 men’s soccer team, the Bulldogs also were awarded with the 

very prestegious Buffalo Funds Five Star Award for their dedication and implementation of the five character values 

(Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Servant Leadership, and Sportsmanship) on and off the soccer field.

Union dedicates Fesmire Field House 

Union University dedicated the new Fesmire Field House 

“to the glory of God and the good of this university,” Union 

President David S. Dockery said Aug. 5 at the dedication 

ceremony. 

“I know that you join me in giving thanks for the beauty of 

this facility and what it will to do to enhance the excellence 

in our athletic department,” Dockery said. “This certainly is 

a first-class facility that can compete with any in the nation. 

We’re so thankful for those who have made it possible.” 

The building is named in honor of Benny and Norma Fesmire, the 

lead donors for the project. 

“Since the day I walked on this campus, the Fesmires have been 

characterized by support and encouragement of all that we do 

at this university,” Dockery said. “Particularly they have invested 

themselves in the work of our athletic department. They have 

been so important to who we are and what we do.” 

Other primary benefactors include the Union University Booster 

Club, West Tennessee Bone and Joint Clinic, Graham Snack 

Foods, James Wilson, Dan and Brenda Davidson, Bruce and 

Melody Haltom and MG Construction Co. 

TLM Associates designed the 18,000-square foot building, while 

MG Construction Co. built the facility. 

The field house will support the soccer teams, the men’s baseball 

team and the women’s softball team. It includes a 9,374-square 

foot turf room, 

locker rooms and showers for each home and visiting 

team, coaches offices and an athletic training room. 

David Blackstock, Union’s athletic director, said only 

one or two other colleges of Union’s size in the South 

have comparable facilities to the Fesmire Field House. 

“This places us above most NCAA Division II schools 

and right up there with some of the larger NCAA 

Division I schools,” Blackstock said. “This definitely 

should help us in attracting good athletes and 

maintaining an excellent program, as well as improving 

in many areas.”

UNION UNIVERSITY NAIA & Opponent Info. 

NAIA - National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 

Throughout its history, the NAIA has provided strong leadership for all aspects of 

intercollegiate sports. Since its introduction of intercollegiate championship basketball in 

1937, the NAIA has maintained the highest standards while administering first-rate athletics 

programs. 

With its major emphasis on educational development, it was natural for the NAIA to 

strengthen academic eligibility requirements. All NAIA participating student-athletes 

must maintain a certain grade-point-average (GPA) while accumulating credit hours for 

a declared academic degree. Unlike other associations, NAIA student-athlete academic 

eligibility is monitored on a semester-by-semester basis. 

The NAIA includes more than 60,000 participating student-athletes. The NAIA offers 24 

separate championships in 13 sports including baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, 

football, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, swimming and 

diving, tennis, volleyball, and wrestling. 

For more information on the NAIA, visit their web site at www.naia.org.

NAIA Champions of Character 

The National Association of Intercollegiate 

Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character 

program is designed to instill an 

understanding of character values in sport 

and provide practical tools for studentathletes, 

coaches and parents to use in 

modeling exemplary character traits. 

Launched by the 

NAIA in 2000, 

the Champions 

of Character 

program addresses 

character 

issues more 

comprehensively 

than any other 

national program 

for youth. The 

program currently reaches hundreds of 

thousands of students on nearly 300 

college and university campuses in 

North America and extends into their 

surrounding communities. 

The NAIA Champions of Character 

program is an educational outreach 

initiative which emphasizes the tenets 

of character and integrity, not only for 

NAIA college students, but for younger 

students, coaches and parents in our 

communities. 

Coaches, parents, administrators and 

community partners all have a role in 

developing students of character. The 

NAIA Champions of Character program 

brings them training, guidelines and 

behavior models to create positive 

environments that promote personal 

growth and fun sport activity. 

Champions of Character is a program of 

the NAIA designed to promote character 

development in youth and change the 

culture of sport. 

The NAIA developed the Champions 

of Character program in response to 

the growing problem of deteriorating 

standards of integrity in sports and 

society. At a time when all of sport has 

experienced increasingly abhorrent 

behavior by athletes, coaches, fans and 

parents, NAIA Champions of Character 

raises the standards for positive youth 

development in athletics and academics. 

The NAIA has been informally teaching 

character development through athletics 

for decades. Now our core values of 

respect, responsibility, integrity, servant 

leadership and sportsmanship are 

addressed comprehensively in the 

Champions of Character program. 

The NAIA sees a tremendous need to 

supplement character development in 

younger students from the elementary 

through high school level. Lessons on 

character and integrity through sports are 

a natural extension of classroom learning.
