’s Soccer Media Guide


Season Outdook 

Now entering the eighth season of women’s soccer at South Dakota 

State, head coach Lang Wedemeyer is accustomed to starting over. He 

first put the team together from scratch in 2000 before SDSU began its 

transition to the Division I level in 2004. In 2006, his team joined the United Soccer 

Conference for just one season and now, he takes his team to a more permanent 

home in The Summit League. 

Similar to his previous journeys, Wedemeyer will look to keep his team on an 

upward path in their new home, following the school’s first conference title as SDSU 

captured the 2006 United Soccer Conference tournament championship. 

Not only did last year’s team reach unprecedented heights for a third-year 

Division I program, but the squad lost just four seniors, only one of which was 

a regular starter. Maggie Eilers, Jenn Davis, Karoline Brause, and Janel Brown all 

ended their collegiate careers on Nov. 5, 2006, when the Jacks captured the USC 

crown with a 1-0 victory over rival North Dakota State. 

The climb to the top in The Summit League will prove to be far more difficult 

for the eighth edition of Wedemeyer’s South Dakota State Jackrabbits, as SDSU is in 

its final year of reclassification and will be ineligible for post-season competition. 

“It’s certainly a bit of a letdown after having won the United Soccer Conference 

Championship last year to not have an end of the year tournament to look forward 

to,” Wedemeyer said. 

The program will have plenty to build on, as the 2007 roster includes just four 

seniors and boasts an incoming class of 12. Playing in their final season, the four 

seniors will be the first to have played their entire SDSU careers at the Division I 

level. 

“We have four hard working young ladies who can each lead in her own way 

to help facilitate both the inclusion of the freshmen as well as the heightened 

competition level within the conference,” Wedemeyer said. “Along with being 

leaders on and off the field, our four seniors will leave their legacy as a group that 

helped transform our program in our Division I transition and have laid a wonderful 

foundation for the future.” 

Juniors Chelsea Goosen (Olathe, Kan.), Kellyn Farrell (Littleton, Colo.), and 

Kerstyn Farrell (Littleton, Colo.) combined for 39 points in 2006, while seniors 

Kelsey Worcester (Anamosa, Iowa) and Heather Hill (Spearfish, S.D.) bring back 22 

of South Dakota State’s 88 points from the 2006 campaign. 

Even with the talent returning, South Dakota State’s program transitioned 

overnight from a well-balanced roster to a youthful roster with some veterans at key 

positions. The challenge of continuing to build the program at a the Division I level 

will be a test that Wedemeyer will be faced with in 2007. 

Wedemeyer and his squad have high expectations for this year, but who can 

blame them. Just one year after winning a conference title the team knows its season 

will come to an end for good on Nov. 4. However, the Jacks are not about to sit 

stagnant for a season. South Dakota State and Wedemeyer are looking at both the 

now and the future. 

“The team has its sights on finishing in the top four of The Summit League as 

a stepping stone to winning the conference tournament in 2008,” Wedemeyer said. 

“The focus of the freshmen will be to gain as much experience as possible so that we 

are well prepared for the next phase of our program—being fully eligible for NCAA 

tournament play next year.” 

Senior forward Kelsey Worcester (right) is South Dakota State University’s career points leader 

in the Division I era. Worcester has been one of the top two scorers in each of her three seasons 

at SDSU. Since joining the team in 2004, Worecester has collected 45 points in 55 games.

Player Profiles 

Forwards 

South Dakota State enters the 2006 season with all three of last year’s starting 

forwards as Kellyn Farrell, Goosen, and Worcester return. In 2006 the front line 

combined for nearly half of South Dakota State’s points, including 7-of-8 gamewinning 

goals. 

Goosen led the way with eight goals and 18 points last season, besting Kellyn 

Farrell and Worecester who each scored 14 points (5 goals, 4 assists). It was the first 

season since Worcester began her Jackrabbit career that she had not led the team in 

goals scored. 

Of Worcester’s four assists in 2006, three came in a single game. On Sept. 4 

Worcester tallied three assists against College of St. Mary. Her three assists ranked her 

fifth in the NCAA for most assists in a single game during the 2006 season. 

All three are well-seasoned veterans for Wedemeyer and bring something 

different to the table. Kellyn Farrell’s speed and ability to create space for herself in 

the box makes her a great target forward, according to Wedemeyer. Worcester will 

look to use her mobility and ability to cut quickly to open opportunities for herself 

while Goosen’s constant movement will wear down defenders. 

Combined, the three have scored 91 points in their careers and each rank in the 

top 10 on SDSU’s all-time scoring list. Worcester has the most points of any active 

player and ranks currently ranks fourth with 45 points (19 goals, 7 assists), one point 

behind third-ranked Melissa Speiser. 

Goosen ranks seventh with 26 points (12 goals, 2 assists) and Kellyn Farrell 

ranks 10th with 20 points (7 goals, 6 assists). Goosen buried the first goal of the 

season for SDSU in 2006, while Kellyn Farrell’s lone goal in the United Soccer 

Conference championship game gave the Jacks their first-ever conference title. 

The Jacks also return junior Kellie Van Gerpen (Brookings, S.D.) and sophomore 

Chelsea Lira (Leavenworth, Kan.). Their depth will be accompanied by newcomers 

Danielle Healy (Sioux Falls, S.D.), Elizabeth Nagelhout (Sioux Falls, S.D.), Kayla 

Perleberg (Burnsville, Minn.), and Kelli Herman (Sioux City, Iowa). 

“We have an experienced team that understands our system of play, our 

standards, and our core values,” Wedemeyer said. “Bringing in some great talent that 

will challenge in most every spot of the field gives us wonderful competitive training 

sessions and great depth.” 

All will be fighting for playing time as the season begins, and will help the team 

prepare for the 17-game season. Healy brings aggressive speed and great footwork 

with the ball, while Nagelhout is a versatile forward and midfielder who will offer 

a great deal of hard work for teammates. Nagelhout’s relentlessness will strengthen 

the team and make it hard for opponents to match up with her. 

Perleberg is similar to Nagelhout in the fact that she’s versatile and her quickness 

makes it hard for defenders to keep up with her for the full 90 minutes. 

Herman is rehabilitating from an injury and will need to fully do so before 

Wedemeyer allows her to break into the lineup. However, once fully recovered, 

Herman will be a very fast, goal-scoring threat that the Jacks will need for 2007 and 

years to come. 

Midfielders 

Believed to be the most interesting group to sort through in the pre-season, 

Wedemeyer has a very experienced group of returning midfielders with Goosen 

playing midfield a lot in the spring season. 

Wedemeyer’s biggest hope 

is that senior Vanessa Paswaters 

(Longmont, Colo.) will be back 

in her old form after suffering 

a season-ending knee injury 

last fall. “A consummate 

ball-winner,” as described by 

Wedemeyer, Paswaters had 

two goals through the first six 

games of the season before 

being sidelined. 

Senior Liz Lane (West Des 

Moines, Iowa) was named one 

of the team’s most valuable 

players in last season’s USC 

title game against North 

Dakota State and has the 

ability to be a force in the air 

duals, changing the game for 

her team.

Along with Worcester, Lane, and Paswaters, Hill is the final senior on a roster that 

has just four. Hill was the fourth-leading scorer for SDSU during her junior season, 

making three of the eight shots she attempted (.375). A battler in the midfield, Hill 

takes very few shots. When she does though, the opposing goalie better be on her 

toes as Hill sported a .875 shots-on-goal percentage last season to lead the Jacks in 

that category. 

Sophomore Diana Nuss is the final returning member of the SDSU midfield. In 

2006, Nuss saw action in eight games. In her limited role as a freshman, Nuss fired 

just four shots, with two of them on-net. In her eight games, the Jacks out-scored 

opponents 27-8 on the scoreboard and compiled a 5-2 record. 

In the midfield, newcomer Tory Schiltgen (Hugo, Minn.) is a skilled passer who 

can cross balls equally well with either foot, according to Wedemeyer. Schiltgen is 

joined by freshmen Kaitlin Justice (Omaha, Neb.), Danielle Neuhalfen (Lincoln, 

Neb.), and Lexy Drayton (Burnsville, Minn.). 

Wedemeyer believes his talented collection of incoming freshmen could 

challenge for playing time right away at the midfield position. 

Defense 

With the loss of four-year starter Maggie Eilers, the Jacks will be forced to lean on 

junior Kelly Larson (Mahtomedi, Minn.) and sophomore Jessica Heine (Sioux Falls, 

S.D.). Wedemeyer believes the two combine for a formidable pair that will work well 

together. 

Juniors Alex Schaller (Maple Grove, Minn.) and Kerstyn Farrell also return on 

the defensive side for SDSU. Kerstyn Farrell was SDSU’s fifth leading scorer in 2006 

with 7 points (2 goals, 3 assists) as one of only three individuals to start in all 20 

games for the Jacks; the others, defensive line-mates Larson and Eilers. 

Both of Kerstyn Farrell’s goals were during the first week of the season, when 

she was honored by the United Soccer Conference as the Offensive Player of the 

Week.

Joining the defensive 

squad are newcomers JoLynn 

Janckila (Appleton, Wis.), 

Emily Quigley (Lenexa, 

Kan.) and Betsy Yungbauer 

(Woodbury, Minn.). 

Janckila is a fast, 

tenacious, and skilled center 

back who will fight for 

playing time, while Quigley is 

a solid outside defender, who 

is versatile enough to play 

anywhere on the field. 

Yungbauer is also an 

outside back and has shown 

Wedemeyer that she seldom 

gets beat in one-on-one battles. 

Although the new players will likely make an impact, Wedemeyer believes his 

team’s greatest strength is its experience. 

“The biggest strength should be the experience of the returning players,” 

Wedemeyer said. “Not only are we returning a majority of our starters from last 

year, but also a majority of these players have been starting for two seasons.” 

Along with solid goalkeeping, the defense was able to hold opponents to just 

22 goals on the season. The defense also helped out by keeping opponent’s shot 

percentage to a .085 average. 

On a defensive mind-set however, SDSU collected 61 more foul calls than its 

opponents, a number that Wedemeyer hopes to decrease through practice. The 

opportunity will present itself this season as his team will be able to simulate more 

game-like situations with the caliber of newcomers that will be on campus this fall. 

goalkeepers while her goals-against average ranked 46th. 

Lograsso also posted six shutouts, including three straight in the United Soccer 

Conference tournament to help lead SDSU to its first conference title. 

Along the way she was honored by the conference as the Defensive Player of the 

Week on Oct. 17, 2006, after holding former USC and current Summit League foe, 

IPFW, scoreless. 

“Niki (Lograsso) has been a solid goalkeeper for her first two seasons,” 

Wedemeyer said. “She will now be called upon to be a leader among the goalies as 

she is the oldest and most experienced.” 

In her first two seasons at South Dakota State, Lograsso battled for playing time against 

Jenn Davis. With Davis graduating last spring, Lograsso will likely log a vast majority of 

the games, but will have two young goalies seeking time between the pipes. 

Daniella Pappas (Des Moines, Iowa) returns for her second season with the Jacks 

Goalkeepers 

Currently tied for the second-most wins in program history, junior Nicole Lograsso 

(Ames, Iowa) will look to move in to sole possession of second when the season 

kicks off on Aug. 31 against Northern Iowa. 

In just her third season with the program, Lograsso ranks in the top five of every 

goalkeeping statistic for South Dakota State. After splitting net time for the last two 

seasons, Lograsso will look to handle a majority of the net-minding responsibilities 

in 2007. 

Last season she posted a 4-5-2 record while starting half of the games. At 

season’s end she had allowed just 10 goals for a .81 goals-against average, and 

collected 62 saves, stopping 86.1 percent of the shots she faced. 

Her .861 save percentage ranked her 21st in the nation among Division I 

Junior defenseman (3) makes a pass to twin sister, (8). The two 

ranked fifth and second, respectively, in scoring on South Dakota State’s 2006 squad. Combined, 

the Farrell twins had 21 points (7 goals, 7 assists) and tallied three game-winners last season.

Junior Chelsea Goosen 




after not seeing any playing time during the 2006 season. After working extremely 

hard during the off-season, Pappas will not only be a workhorse in practice, she will 

also be vying for some valuable playing time. 

Along with Lograsso and Pappas, newcomer Brienna Rogers (Wauwatosta, Wis.) 

enters in to the SDSU goalkeeping mix. 

“Rogers has tremendous athleticism and the ability to make unbelievable saves,” 

Wedemeyer said, “but will need the day-to-day focus in our trainings to reach her full 

potential.” 

Schedule 

The 2007 SDSU women’s soccer schedule features a 17-game slate, including 10 

home games at Fishback Soccer Park. SDSU’s 10 home games are the most since 

moving to the Division I level in 2004. 

The Summit League provides for eight of the games in 2007 and conference 

competition will begin during the first week of September as the Jacks face the 2006 

Mid-Continent Conference champions, Oakland, at home. 

“Although we are delighted to be in The Summit League this year,” Wedemeyer 

said, “adding those teams into an already full schedule was a bit of a challenge. We 

had to spread out our conference games throughout the season as compared to 

2008, where October is mostly a conference schedule.” 

The season opens on Aug. 31 when SDSU hosts Northern Iowa, opening a 

three-game homestand. The stretch continues with home matches against Oakland 

(Sept. 7) and Mary (Sept. 9), the 2006 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference 

champions. 

SDSU’s meeting with Oakland will mark not only the soccer team’s first Summit 

League contest, it will also be the first time any SDSU program has competed in 

conference action since joining The Summit League on July 1, 2007. 

Conference competition continues as the Jacks hit the road for the first time 

during the 2007 campaign to take on Southern Utah. 

After just one game away, the Jacks return home for another three-game 

home stand, where they will take on Creighton (Sept. 16) from the Missouri Valley 

Conference, Weber State (Sept. 21) from the Big Sky Conference, and Iowa (Sept. 

23) from the Big Ten Conference. 

On Sept. 28 the Jacks head to Des Moines, Iowa, where they will face the 

defending Missouri Valley Conference champions, Drake. Drake, along with 

Oakland, competed in the 2006 NCAA Soccer Championships, but loses nearly half 

of its starters from the 2006 campaign. 

October has the Jacks opening with two straight conference opponents as IPFW 

(Oct. 5) and IUPUI (Oct. 7) travel to Brookings. SDSU has met each team once 

before and hold a 1-0 record against IPFW, while IUPUI won its only meeting 

against the Jacks. 

After a road trip to Macomb, Ill., to face Western Illinois (Oct. 11), South Dakota 

State returns to the friendly confines of Fishback Soccer Park to take on Utah Valley 

State (Oct. 14) and North Dakota State (Oct. 18). Last season Utah Valley State, 

North Dakota State, and SDSU were all members of the United Soccer Conference. 

At the conference tournament, SDSU made it past Utah Valley State in a shootout 

(4-1) before defeating NDSU 1-0 in the championship game. 

Combined the Jacks are 3-7-2 when facing Utah Valley State and North Dakota 

State. Last season SDSU went 1-0-1 against Utah Valley State and 1-1-0 against 

North Dakota State. 

The contest against NDSU marks the final home game on the 2007 schedule 

for South Dakota State. Following the Oct. 18 match the Jacks take to the road for 

Summit League matches against Centenary (Oct. 26) and Oral Roberts (Oct. 28) 

before finishing the season with a pair of non-conference games in Virginia. 

The Jacks will travel to Virginia to take on Liberty on Nov. 2 before playing their 

season finale against Longwood on Nov. 4. 

“Having to travel so much in the last three to four years has been a wonderful 

experience for our team and players,” Wedemeyer said, “but there is certainly 

something special about being able to play at home. Having so many new players, 

having some top-notch opponents on our field, and having the ability to play more 

players due to more early home games should only make us stronger.” 

Although a good portion of the schedule will be played at home, some of the 

way the schedule has been laid out will make it difficult for SDSU to recover from 

being on the road. 

“Our schedule is very challenging,” Wedemeyer said. “The fact that our players 

will have eight league matches with something theoretically ‘on the line’ in each one 

can place extra stress of importance on them. When you add some games where 

we are on the road for a conference match and then return home to play a rival like 

Creighton in the same weekend, this makes every weekend a challenge.” 

Combined with some of the best teams in the Upper Midwest, the 2007 

schedule also has the Jacks facing six opponents they have never seen. Matches 

against Oakland, Iowa, Centenary, Oral Roberts, Liberty, and Longwood will all be 

firsts for SDSU. 

Outlook 

The Jacks are coming of an 8-9-3 (.475) campaign that saw them capture their 

first conference title in the seven year history of the program. 

With a strong nucleus of leadership returning, SDSU will face its toughest 

schedule yet. With two teams that qualified for the NCAA National Championships 

by virtue of winning their respective conference titles on the schedule and another 

Division II conference champion, the Jacks will have to fight off not only their 

opponents, but the physical demand of the season that lies ahead. 

Along with the new challenges comes the arrival of a permanent home. SDSU 

officially joined The Summit League on July 1, 2007, and welcomes the new 

opportunity to compete in such an atmosphere. 

In 2006 the Jacks’ .475 overall winning percentage would have been the third 

best in the former Mid-Con. The Jacks also posted a 2-1-0 record in conference 

action during the 2006 season, a winning percentage that was equal to that of the 

second ranked team in the Mid-Con. 

Not only does SDSU welcome six new opponents to the 2007 schedule, the 

Jacks have also welcomed two new members of the coaching staff. Peter McGahey 

was brought on as the new assistant coach in the spring, following the departure of 

Gretta Grenz, who had been Wedemeyer’s assistant for the past five seasons. 

Also new to the coaching staff is Gretta Arvesen. Arvesen joins the staff as the 

graduate assistant coach following a four-year collegiate playing career at Creighton 

University. 

Although there are 12 newcomers on the team, six new opponents on the 

schedule and two new coaches on the sidelines, the Jacks will be a strong competitor

Head Coach Lang Wedemeyer 

 

When starting a new program, many schools will allow 

for a grace period before evaluating the success of 

that program. South Dakota State University did 

not have to wait long before it was able to start compiling a 

list of accomplishments that its lone women’s soccer coach, 

Lang Wedemeyer, has amassed in his seven-year tenure at 

the helm. 

Furthermore, many coaches are not asked to do what 

SDSU has asked Wedemeyer to do since he joined the staff 

in February of 2000. 

From the beginning Wedemeyer has accepted every 

challenge that has been placed in front of him and faces 

yet another as the Jack begin their eighth season of women’s 

soccer and their first as a member of The Summit League. 

From The Ground Up 

Eight years ago Wedemeyer started at SDSU with the 

task of building an NCAA Division II women’s 

soccer program. His first roster of 19 included just 

six women that had any collegiate experience, 

six freshmen, and a mix of seven others, 

including four that had played club soccer at 

SDSU in 1999. The roster was put together 

in just six month before the inexperienced 

Jackrabbit team took to the field for its 

inaugural season. In 2000, SDSU posted a 

5-12-0 record, including a 1-8 record in the 

North Central Conference.

Youth Leads SDSU to Postseason Berth 

The following season the Jacks welcomed a freshman class of 14 to its roster. 

Although the team was young in age, they were able to post the best record in 

SDSU history as Wedemeyer marched his second-year program into the North 

Central Conference’s four-team postseason tournament with a 13-6-1 record. Along 

the way, Wedemeyer’s team recorded record-highs in goals (57), assists (46), points 

(160), shots (429), shots on goal (239), corner kicks (79), and penalty kicks (5). For 

his efforts Wedemeyer was named the North Central Conference Coach of the Year 

following his 2001 campaign. 

During the 2001 season SDSU made its first appearance in school history on the 

NCAA Division II Central Region rankings. 

After finishing the 2002 season with a 10-8-0 record, SDSU missed the 

postseason, struggling with a 2-6-0 record through the conference portion of its 

schedule. 

In 2003, the Jacks rebounded with their third consecutive winning season. After 

posting an 8-5-6 overall record and a 2-2-3 record in NCC action, the Jacks were 

back in the postseason for the second time in three years. Behind the net-minder 

skills of senior Erin Miller, Wedemeyer’s team posted the fifth lowest goals-against 

average in Division II. Miller later became the first player in SDSU history to be 

named North Central Conference Player of the Year. She was also the first Jackrabbit 

soccer player to be named an All-American, earning second team honors. 

The 2003 season turned out to be SDSU’s last in Division II as the school had 

announced its plan to transition to Division I status during the following school 

year. 

SDSU Struggles in Transition to Divison I 

After leading the four-year-old program to a 36-31-7 record, South Dakota State 

decided to take its athletic department to the Division I level, leaving Wedemeyer 

with the task of recruiting players into a program that was not eligible for the NCAA 

postseason and was without a conference affiliate. 

Wedemeyer accepted the challenge even though it came with its low points. The 

program returned to where it was just three years earlier, posting a 5-11-1 record 

8 



 

during its first season at the Division I level. Although 

the wins were not rolling in as quickly any more, SDSU 

was making solid strides. The program faced 10 new 

opponents during the 2004 season and saw 11 Division 

I opponents. Five games into the season, the Jacks 

earned their first Division I win with a victory over 

Western Illinois, 2-0, at the Diadora Class in Omaha, 

Neb., on Sept. 12. 

In 2005, the team recorded another five-win 

season, posting a 5-12-1 record in its second year of 

Division I play. The Jacks recorded Division I victories 

over Northern Iowa, Montana and Murray State, while 

also holding Big 10 member Minnesota scoreless on 

Sept. 11. 

Wedemeyer Leads Jacks to First Title 

South Dakota State joined the United Soccer 

Conference for its 2006 campaign. After starting the 

season with wins over Northern Iowa and Northern 

Illinois, the Jacks were holding their heads high with 

a 3-1-1 record through five games. However, SDSU 

struggled through the middle portion of its schedule. 

The Jacks went 0-7-1 in their next eight games, scoring 

just one goal during that stretch. Four of those losses 

were by scores of 0-1 and the Jacks knew the season 

was not over yet. 

Over the course of the final seven games of the 

season the Jacks posted a 5-1-1 record, which included 

a 2-0-1 record in the United Soccer Conference 

tournament to claim the USC championship. During 

SDSU’s three tournament games, goalkeepers Nicole 

Lograsso and Jenn Davis combined for three straight 

shut outs. 

The conference tournament title was the first for 

SDSU at any level and especially a nice reward for 

Wedemeyer after starting a program from scratch in 

2000 and leading it to a Division I conference title. 

A New Home For SDSU Athletics, Soccer 

The 2007 season marks the first for SDSU as a 

member of The Summit League. As the Jacks enter 

the final transitional season before becoming a full 

Division I member and eligible for NCAA postseason 

competition in 2008-09, having permanent affiliation 

will help aide in the recruiting process. After settling 

in for a season, Wedemeyer and the Jacks will gear up 

for their first run at a Division I postseason berth in 

2008. 

Wedemeyer enters the 2007 season with a 54-63-12 

career record, a .465 winning percentage. 

Outside of South Dakota State 

In addition to starting the women’s soccer program 

at SDSU, Wedemeyer has also been involved in 

other aspects of the South Dakota and national 

soccer community. He is a National Soccer Coaches 

Association of America regional director, overseeing 

all the coaching certification in South Dakota, 

North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming and 

Colorado. 

Wedemeyer is currently a NSCAA National Staff 

Coach and regional technical director. He has traveled 

throughout the state conducting coaching certification 

and running clinics over the past six years. 

In the summer of 2002, Wedemeyer added another 

title to his list of coaching credentials as he served as 

an assistant coach for the Olympic Development 

Program Region II 1990 Team, taking the team to a 

national camp in Houston, Texas. He was an assistant 

coach for the Region II 1987 Team in 2003-04, taking 

the team on a European tour. In 2005, he was selected 

from Region II to help evaluate and select member of 

the Girl’s Under-17 National Team at the Home Depot 

Center in California. 

Prior to SDSU 

Wedemeyer joined the SDSU staff as the first coach 

in women’s soccer history in 2000. Before taking his 

current post, Wedemeyer was the director of coaching 

and women’s coordinator for the Roanoke Valley 

Youth Soccer Club. His three-year tenure as the club’s 

assistant executive director included overseeing all 28 

teams and their coaches, as well as coaching under- 

18 and under-14 girls soccer teams. Wedemeyer also 

served three years as the director of the Western 

District Olympic Development Program for girls 

and boys and coached the under-14 Virginia Olympic 

Development Team for two seasons. 

One of the youngest coaches in the United 

States to obtain all levels of coaching certification, 

Wedemeyer holds nine professional soccer coaching 

licenses, including a United State Soccer Federation 

“A” license and the NSCAA Premier diploma. 

While working on his master’s degree at Old 

Dominion, Wedemeyer served as an assistant coach for 

the men’s soccer program. In addition, his coaching 

experience consists of appearances at several soccer 

camps and clinics, including serving as head counselor 

of the University of North Carolina Women’s Soccer 

Camp since 1995. 

Playing Career 

Wedemeyer began his collegiate playing career at 

Virginia Tech University, where he was voted the 

‘Hokies best defensive player two years in a row. He 

later transferred to Old Dominion University (Va.), 

where he captained the team and earned second-team 

academic All-America honors in 1994. 

Wedemeyer also has extensive professional playing 

experience in the United Soccer Leagues. He played 

three years for his hometown Roanoke Wrath before 

playing with the Sioux Falls Spitfire at the beginning of 

the team’s first season in 2001.

Oklahoma and Metro State. 

At Central Oklahoma, he tutored the Broncos’ first-ever Division II All- 

American. In 2004, McGahey helped coach Central Oklahoma to the Lone Star 

Conference regular season championship and a top-25 national ranking. 

During his time with Metro State, McGahey served as the men’s goalkeeper 

coach and recruiting coordinator. He aided in the development and recruitment of 

the Roadrunners school leader in victories, shutouts and goals against average. In 

1998, Metro State qualified for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament 

with a 12-8 record. 

McGahey currently holds an “A” National Coaching License from the United 

State Soccer Federation, as well as a Level I Goalkeeping Diploma from the National

The Jackrabbit Family 


What Others Are Saying 

“Playing soccer, while attending college at SDSU, transformed 

me in all aspects of my life. I grew as a person, not only 

physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It 

taught me how to work with others on a team, overcome 

adversity, be accountable for my mistakes and persevere.” 

 

“SDSU Women’s Soccer meant mere acquaintances that 

turned into family, a dream that became reality, and a life 

experience that made me grow in ways that I would have 

never expected. I would not trade being a Jackrabbit for 

anything in the world.” 

 

“Everything I learned while playing soccer for SDSU, both 

on and off the field, can be applied to life. It was truly an 

amazing experience that will stay with me forever.” 

 

“In their short time in Division I, North Dakota State and 

South Dakota State are both recruiting nicely and will move 

quickly to the top of this league before their schools find 

permanent conference affiliation.” 

 

Karoline Brause 

“Being a part of SDSU athletics was an amazing experience. It 

was a great challenge. Soccer assisted me in understanding the 

importance of time management and how to constructively 

and positively deal with adversity in life. Having been part of 

SDSU’s athletic program definitely helped shape me into the 

person I am today.” 

 

“My years playing for SDSU have meant more to me than 

just the game nights at Fishback Soccer Park. It taught 

me discipline, teamwork, commitment, time management, 

responsibility, and respect. I will never forget the triumphs 

over adversity, friendships built with my teammates and most 

of all, winning the conference championship. It will always 

be something that I can look back on and be proud of.”

2006 Season in Review 

A Trip To The Top 

SDSU takes roller coaster ride to the top 

Jacks earn first conference ence title in seventh season of competition 

As South Dakota State University opened its 

seventh season of women’s soccer, the team’s 

third at the Division I level, the Jackrabbits 

kicked off 

its first, and only, 

as a member of 

the United Soccer Conference. 

The new conference was formed in 2005 

and composed of schools that were previously 

playing under the Independent flag. 

On August 25, 2006, head coach Lang 

We 

demeyer directed his team to a 3-0 victory over 

Northern Iowa, kick starting a 3-1 record through 

the first fo 

ur games of the season. Following 

wins over Northern Illinois and St. Mary (Neb.), 

the Jacks fe 

ll upon hard times, posting a 0-7-2 

record through the next nine games of the season, 

including a seven-game losing streak. 

Despite the mid-season setback, SDSU 

pulled out of its slump against IPFW at home 

on Oct. 6. Through the final seven games of 

the season, SDSU recorded a 5-1-1 record, 

with their only loss coming by a score of 2-1 at 

home against Big Ten opponent Minnesota. 

The regular season ended on Oct. 21 as 

SDSU completed a two-game road trip in Utah, 

defeating USC foe Utah Valley 

State (1-0) and 

Dixie State (2-1). 

With 

the regular season over, the Jacks 

turned their focus to the United Soccer 

Conference tournament in Washington, D.C. 

Dur 

ingth 

eregular 

season,SDSUhadfinished 

with 

a 2-1-0 record against USC opponent nt 

s an 

d 

th 

e team 

was eager fo 

r th 

e event 

to begin.

In the opening game of the tournament 

for SDSU, the Jacks faced tournament host 

Howard. Wasting 

no time, the Jacks scored 

the would-be game-winning goal just just 51 

seconds into the contest when Kellyn Farrell 

landed a shot between the pipes. SDSU scored 

seven more goals in the match to beat the 

Howard 8-0. Along with another goal from 

Kellyn Farrell, SDSU received two goals 

from Chelsea Goosen and two from Heather 

Hill. Chelsea Lira and Kellie Van 

Gerpen each 

added a goal to the total as well. 

A day later, Oct. 3, SDSU had a re-match 

with Utah Valley 

State. Late in the regular 

season the Jacks defeated Utah Valley 

State 1- 

0. Goalkeeper Nicole Lograsso was once again 

able to shine as she shut out the Wolverines. 

However, the Jacks were also shut out, sending 

the game into a shootout after two scoreless 

overtimes. SDSU eventually earned a berth 

in the championship game after besting Utah 

Valley 

State, 4-1, in the shootout. Freshman 

Jess Heine scored the fourth and deciding 

shootout goal for SDSU. 

The championship game saw the Jacks 

take on a familiar opponent in North Dakota 

State. After a scoreless first half, SDSU’s 

Kellyn Farrell scored on a header for the 

game’s only goal and her second game-winner 

of the tournament. 

The win over NDSU was the first for the 

Jacks since 2001 and could not have come at a 

better time for the Jacks. 

SDSU’s United Soccer Conference 

tournament championship was the first 

conference title for the school. 

For their efforts, 

Lograsso, Natasha Swift, 

Maggie Eilers, and Kellyn Farrell were named 

to the All-Tournament 

team with Kellyn Farrell 

earning MVP 

honors.

History 

The Summit League, renamed on June 1, 2007 from the Mid-Continent Conference, celebrated its 25th year as an 

NCAA Division I athletics conference during the 2006-07 academic year. The Mid-Con is wrapping up a year in which its 

student-athletes, coaches, administrators and teams continued to strengthen its reputation as a nationally-competitive 

and well-respected league. 

In May 2007, the Mid-Con Presidents Council embraced the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed 

emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all its student-athletes. Included in the plan was the 

creation of a new image of the conference and the unveiling of a new name. The Summit League is the third name the 

conference has held in its 25 years as an NCAA sanctioned league. 

The Summit League’s current member schools are Centenary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue 

University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas 

City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, South Dakota State University, Southern 

Utah University and Western Illinois University. The member schools pride themselves on providing quality athletic, 

academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. 

The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, 

men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s 

swimming & diving, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, men’s and 

women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Early History 

An act of the Territorial 

Legislature, approved on February 21, 

1881, provided that “an Agriculture College for the Territor 

y of 

Dakota to be established in Brookings.” 

In 1884, the school opened despite allocating falling short 

of the actual cost. To 

ensure the doors would open on time 

George Lilley, the first president, advanced $500 - one-third of 

his salary - to finish three rooms in the new Central Building. 

What later became known as “Old Central,” the Central 

Building joined South (1885) and North (1887), forming the 

nucleus of the campus for a decade and a half. 

During the first year of operation, the college only held 

prepatory classes. College classes started in 1885 with five 

teachers, 17 freshmen and 61 prepatory students. Growth 

stayed slow and erratic for many years but by the turn of the 

20th century 242 students were enrolled. Today 

, the university 

is home to over 11,000 undergraduate and graduate 

students. 

Evolution of a University 

The structure of the college became more complex as 

enrollment increased. 

The first nine chairs of instruction, established in 1884, 

included 

agriculture, science, mathematics, English, modern 

languages, ges, military tactics, veterinary science, practical 

business, political and domestic economy, and music. 

By 1907, the year the name of the institution changed 

to South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 

Arts, there were 22 departments on campus. In 1923 SDSU’s 

instructional program was organized under five divisions

SDSU Today 

Students at South Dakota State University can choose from 

more than 200 majors, minors and options, with more than 

2,500 different course offerings. 

The university also offers over 40 master’s degrees, with 

doctorates tes available in 11 fields. 

SDSU also offers degree programs through the University 

Center in Sioux Falls. The Office of Academic Affairs and 

Outreach also coordinates evening, RDTN, Internet and off- 

campus courses. 

The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary 

Schools accredit South Dakota State University, and numerous 

departments on campus hold accreditations from various 

agencies. 

In 2006, SDSU celebrated its 125th anniversary with a 

yearlong event that culminated with the 2006 Hobo Day 

football game. 

Growing Education 

Since its inception in 1881, SDSU has grown from a campus 

of 80 acres to a 271-acre campus with facilities worth more 

than $220 million. 

The university owns or leases another 15,000 acres for 

research throughout the state. 

—The clock tower sits in front 

of the Tompkins 

Alumni Center on the west side of campus. The 

alumni center is host to many university and alumni functions 

throughout the year. 

The Coughlin Campanile (left and previous page) is considered 

South Dakota State University’s most recognizable landmark. The 

campanile’s cornerstone was laid on June 10, 1929, by Charles 

Coughlin and its chimes have called students to classes with its 

famous Westminster peals ever since. 

In 2000, the Printing and Journalism Building, now named the 

Anson and Ada May Yea 

ger Hall, reopened following a $2.4 

million expansion and renovation project. 

Other recent construction projects across the campus 

include a $7 million expansion to Crothers Engineering Hall, 

a renovation of Solberg hall, and the building of a $9 million 

performing arts center that was opened in the fall of 2002. 

The newest residence hall (Caldwell Hall) and the 

University Student Union expansion and renovation were 

completed in 2005, and the Enterprise Institute, located on 

the southwest corner of campus, opened in 2004. 

Currently, SDSU has two educational building projects 

under way; a $48 million, 144,000-square-foot Integrated 

Sciences Complex and Harding Hall South, a 30,000-squarefoot 

building that will house an expansion within the College 

of Engineering. 

Research 

SDSU has the highest percentage of undergraduates involved 

in research of any South Dakota public university. South 

Dakota State University is large enough to offer competitive 

research opportunities but small enough to foster studentfaculty 

learning opportunities. 

In 2006, SDSU was recognized by the Carnegie 

Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching 

as the state’s 

52 




You Can Go Anywhere From Here 

only RU/H (research university/high research activity) 

institution. The prestigious ranking recognizes the 

growth of doctoral programs, degrees granted and 

competitive funds obtained. 

Major areas of research at SDSU include: 

 

photovoltaic devises, nanotechnology, materials 

science, wind power, surface transportation 

systems, signal and image processing, water 

treatment, computer sciences, software engineering 

and computational science and statistics. 

 

and the spectrum of related issues, such as

SDSU has been selected as one of five 

universities to serve as a regional center for the Sun 

Grant Initiative. The Sun Grant Initiative is a concept 

to solve America’s energy needs and revitalize rural 

communities with land-grant university research, 

education and extension programs on renewable 

energy and bio-based non-food industries. The 

Sun Grant Initiative will involve several SDSU 

departments, including mechanical engineering, 

biology and microbiology, the Geographic 

Information Science Center of Excellence, nutrition 

and food sciences, chemistry and plant science.

universities to serve as Vanguard centers for the 

National Children’s Study. The NCS will study more 

than 100,000 children across the country from 

conception to age 21. 

As part of the Governor’s 2010 Initiative, a goal 

is for South Dakota to become a recognized leader 

in research and technology development. To realize 

this goal, SDSU faculty are involved in five research 

centers.

Museums and Attractions 

The educational opportunities do not end in the 

classroom or laboratory as South Dakota State 

University is home to several facilities, including 

museums and gardens, which highlight South 

Dakota’s history and heritage. 

The South Dakota Art Museum houses several 

collections, including early Sioux Indian tribal art, 

the famed Harvey Dunn paintings of pioneer life and 

the exclusive Vera Way Marghab linens. 

The State Agricultural Heritage Museum 

transformed the former Stock Judging pavilion into 

a home for exhibits that record and preserve the 

agrarian heritage of the state. 

The 70-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota 

Arboretum, located south and east of campus, 

provide a beautiful setting for area residents and 

tourists to enjoy a stroll through the radiant colors 

and fragrances of one of the top 10 small ornamental 

gardens in the nation. 

In 1993, McCrory Gardens were designated an 

All-American Judging Garden to conduct research 

on annual flowers. 

In 1982, the area north of the formal gardens 

was dedicated to the planting and testing of 

ornamental trees and shrubs. The 45-acre site was 

designated the South Dakota State Arboretum in 

1988. 

Perhaps South Dakota State University’s most 

recognizable landmark is the 165-foot Coughlin 

Campanile, the stat’s largest chimes tower. A climb 

of 179 steps leads to a panoramic view of the city. 

The statuesque structure on the west end of 

campus was a $65,000 give from 1909 engineering 

graduate Charles Coughlin, who later went on to 

become head of the Briggs & Stratton Corporation. 

Coughlin laid the campanile’s cornerstone on 

June 10, 1929. Since then, its chimes have called 

students to classes with the famous Westminster 

peals. 

An alumni-sponsored project to restore the 

campanile was completed in the summer of 2001. 

Adjacent to the campanile, Coolidge-Sylvan 

Theatre has provided a restful, green haven for 

students since its dedication by President Calvin 

Coolidge in September 1927. 

Over the years the outdoor amphitheatre 

—The Sylvan Theatre, located on the southwest corner 

of campus, is an outdoor amphitheater that has been the site of concerts, graduations 

and inaugurations of university presidents since its dedication by President Calvin

has been the site of concerts, graduations and 

inaugurations for university presidents. 

Woodbine Cottage, the home of the university 

president, is a charming example of Queen Anne 

architecture. Built in 1887 by South Dakota 

Agricultural College’s second president, Dr. Lewis 

McLouth, the home is crowned by multiple roof 

lines. 

The house has also served as a women’s 

dormitory, music hall, and infirmary. 

Brookings is scheduled to bring another first to 

the state when the South Dakota Children’s Museum 

opens in 2010. 

The museum will be a welcoming, fun, and 

entertaining environment which will help spark 

learning through imagination, creativity, and 

discovery. 

South Dakota’s Largest 

The Hilton M. Briggs Library is the largest library in 

the state. It was opened in 1977 and joined South 

Dakota’s statewide-automated library network in 

1988. Through the library users have access to 

holdings from all 10 of the state’s libraries, including 

official documents and more than 1 million other 

holdings at Briggs. 

The Community 

Brookings is a growing community of more than 

18,000 people. Located 20 miles west of the 

Minnesota boarder and 50 miles north of Sioux Falls 

in east-central South Dakota, Brookings is situated 

at the intersection of U.S. Highway 14 and Interstate 

29. 

The area’s history dates back to 1500 BC, when 

its is believed the first groups of people lived among 

its river valleys, rich soil, and abundant wildlife. The 

city is situated near the Big Sioux River, which runs 

south through the county, and many lakes, including 

Oakwood Lakes and Lake Campbell. 

The county and the city got their names from 

Wilmot W. Brookings, a great South Dakota pioneer 

promoter. 

The first actual town organized in Brookings 

County was Medary in 1857. Medary, along with 

Sioux Falls and Flandreau, was one of the first three 

European settlements established in the state. 

Today, a sign nearly four and one half miles south

of present-day Brookings marks where the town of 

Medary once was. 

The present-day city was first settled in 1879 

when the railroad decided to lay its tracks through 

what later became known as the city of Brookings. 

Today, Brookings is the fifth largest city in South 

Dakota and home of South Dakota State University, 

the largest public university in the state. 

Brookings is home to several recognizable 

companies including: Rainbow Play Systems, 

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M), 

Larson Manufacturing, and Daktronics, a leading 

manufacturer of scoreboards and display systems. 

The Brookings Scene 

Residents and visitors alike are entertained by a vast 

variety of places and events around Brookings. 

Historic Downtown Brookings is the heart of a 

community strong in education, agriculture and the 

arts. The area offers a diverse mix of over 200 retail, 

dining and service businesses that complement the 

government and historic center of Brookings. 

One can find anything from sporting goods to

Evolution of a Nickname 

There are two theories as to how and why the 

jackrabbit nickname evolved. The most common 

belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from 

a story and a cartoon sketch that appeared in a 

Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football 

game between the University of Minnesota and 

South Dakota State College, as the university was 

then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing 

of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings 

area, was believed to have written that the SDSC 

team was as quick as jackrabbits. May people 

believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as 

its official nickname from that beginning. 

The other theory about the origin of the nickname 

is given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. There is 

a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea 

that the yearbook is called The jackrabbit because a 

group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves 

by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic 

teams followed in suit by adopting the nickname. 

Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, 

school athletic teams were known as the Barn Yard 

Cadets as SDSU was knows as South Dakota State 

College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907. 

Hobo Day 

Each year the university’s homecoming celebration 

is celebrated by Hobo Day. 

The festivities include dressing up according 

to the years’ theme, a parade, a Homelycoming 

Pageant, and much more. The event dates back to 

Nov. 2, 1912, when the first Hobo Day appeared at 

the then South Dakota State College. 

Today, the festivities include Weary Wil and Dirty 

Lil, who were introduced to the celebration in 1950 

and 1976, respectively. 

The Bummobile, a 1912 Model T Ford, was 

donated to the college in 1939 and can occasionally 

be seen around the city throughout the year. 

Each year the celebration is capped off with 

the Hobo Day football game at Coughlin Alumni 

Stadium. 

Since the inception of Hobo Day, only one 

football game has not been played. In 1918 there 

was no game due to the first World War.
