UNF 15 Tournament Champion: Campbell First-place votes in parentheses Head Coach Tom Melville Entering his 12th season in charge of the Mercer men’s soccer program, Melville has built the program into a perennial contender in the Atlantic Sun Conference. On Oct. 6, 2005, head coach Tom Melville recorded his 98th win since taking the reigns at Mercer. With this career mark, Melville passed Dana Robinson to become the Bears’ all-time winningest coach. Since his arrival in 1995, the Bears have qualified for postseason play eight times. During Melville’s tenure, Mercer has averaged nine wins per season and has accumulated more overall wins than any other team in the A-Sun since 1998. Melville currently owns the title as dean of Atlantic Sun soccer coaches and has more conference victories (42) than any other active coach in the A-Sun. The Bears were regular season conference champions in 2000, 2001 and 2002. They also captured the conference tournament championship following the 1999 and 2001 seasons. Since taking over the Mercer program nearly 12 years ago, Melville has produced 17 first and second team all-conference award winners, eight all-freshman team selections and 16 all-tournament team members. He has also guided Max Rooke (2001) and Ramiro Canovas (2002) to being named A-Sun Player of the Year as well as Vicente Arze’s conference Freshman of the Year award in 2004. Melville's players also enjoy success in the classroom. During the 2005-06 school year, men's soccer had 14 players on the academic all-conference team. Now in his 20th season as a collegiate head coach, Melville has a career record of 172-159-27. He took the Bears to an NCAA play-in game in 1999 versus Rhode Island and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2001 with a first round match-up against Kentucky. He has garnered Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors twice, in 1999 and 2002, and was named South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year in 1992. Prior to joining Mercer, Melville was the head coach at Lenoir-Rhyne College where he compiled a career record of 74-57- 15. His teams averaged nine wins per season during his stint as the head man in Hickory, N.C. Melville also helped guide LRC to its first ever NAIA playoff berth and is still the all-time winningest coach in school history. Tom Melville became Mercer men’s soccer’s all-time winningest coach with a 2-1 victory over Gardner-Webb on Oct. 6, 2005.

Vicente Arze 1 The Coaches: UAB head coach Mike Getman, now in his 14th season as UAB's head coach, has led the Blazers to three of the last six NCAA Tournaments, including an appearance in the Elite Eight in 1999 and Sweet 16 in 2001. Before his arrival in 1992, the Blazers had recorded only three winning seasons in the 13 years of the program. Getman has three times been named conference Coach of the Year. He holds a career mark of 199-112-26 (.629) in 18 seasons and a 157-86-17 (.637) record in 13 seasons at UAB. Even more impressive is the total of 63 all-conference selections he has coached at UAB, including six of the last 12 Freshman (Conference USA) and Newcomer (Great Midwest) of the Year award winners. He is ranked among college soccer's top men's active coaches (32nd in winning percentage and tied for 40th in victories) as well as all-time wins (among the top 100 in winning percentage). Getman is among a handful of coaches who both played for and coached a team to the NCAA College Cup, accomplishing the feat twice as a player and as a coach. Birmingham-Southern head coach Preston Goldfarb is entering his 24th season at the helm of the Panthers. Goldfarb guided the Panthers to a Big South Conference runner-up finish in 2003, the school’s first season of NCAA Division I eligibility. Since that season, BSC has captured back-to-back Big South Conference Regular Seasons crowns and posted a runner-up finish in the league tournament. Goldfarb has been named conference Coach of the Year five times, including the 2005 Big South Conference Coach of the Year; Region Coach of the Year in 1996, 1997 and 1999; and was named NSCAA Region honoree in 1995 and 1997. Series Notes: The Bears are looking for their first win versus UAB as they are 0-8-1 all-time against the Blazers. This will be Mercer’s first-ever match against Birmingham-Southern. Last Time Out: Mercer opened its season with tough 3-1 loss at Georgia Southern. The Eagles took the early lead before junior Vicente Arze provided the Bears only goal on a penalty kick just before halftime. Despite playing a man down for nearly the whole second half, Georgia Southern was able to put away the match with two second-half goals. Seniors Omar Liendo and Mark McKeever registered three shots apiece in the game.
