According to head coach Kerem Daser, the key to improvement and success this season rests in the hands of the team, rather than one key player. With the loss of State’s leading scorer, Floreal Pedrazo, the Panthers have worked on defending, transitioning, attacking, finishing, and making a presence on the field during the offseason. “We are looking to have a successful season with great leadership on the field,” said Daser. “In order to be winners, you have to have three things: the head, the heart, and the feet. The head is the soccer mind, the heart is the willingness to play and be competitive, and the feet include all the technical skills in soccer. If we can have all three of those things, we will have a good season.” Returners The Panthers return 11 players for the 2008 season, losing only five players, including leading scorer, Floreal Pedrazo and starter, Justin Davis. Of the 11 returners, eight are seniors and all saw significant action last season for the Panthers. “Our most successful seasons at Georgia State were in 1997, 2000, and 2004, and in all three of those years, our team was dominated by seniors. So, I think our large group of seniors will have a positive impact. They are all special and bring something different to the field and we will look for them to be leaders and set examples for our newcomers on and off the field,” said Daser. Newcomers State has added a recruiting class of seven enthusiastic and talented players. The combination of raw and diverse talent allows for competition at every position. Many of the newcomers will bring an impact off the bench while some will battle for starting positions. Stephan Minyono is a six-foot-five transfer forward from the University of Evansville and also has experience at the ODP level as a member of the south regional team. Christopher Peacos, a freshman defender from Roswell, Ga., was one of the top defenders in the country out of last year’s class and played for the Concorde Soccer Club, which is a part of the US Developmental Academy and has won many state and regional cups. He has matched up against some of the top players in the country and brings a great deal of experience to the team. Jacob Hamilton, a freshman from Cumming, Ga. and former member of the RPL Norcross Fury team, will see action at the forward position. Zachary Walldorf is a freshman from Chamblee High School in Chamblee, Ga., and will back Filipe Carvalho at the goalkeeper position. Ayokunle Lumpkin, a freshman from Marietta, Ga., will assist the forward, helping to set up and score goals. Donald Kirkland (McDonough, Ga.) and Joey Syfert (Kennesaw, Ga.) will add depth to the team, splitting time between the defender and midfield positions. Goal Keepers Goalkeeper Filipe Carvalho returns as a starter at the goalkeeper position with 317 career saves. Carvalho, who finished the 2007 season ranked No. 6 in the NCAA in saves, is expected to have a stellar season in his final year as a Panther. As co-captain, he will be a leader on the field and serve as a mentor for newcomer Zachary Walldorf. Defenders State will return five experienced defenders, including seniors Spenser Sumpter, Francesco Barbera, and Tobias Nagy. Sumpter, a three-year starter, will continue to lead the backfield as a defender with his great soccer mind and first touch on the ball. Sophomore Michael Clarke also returns and is expected to add great athleticism at the central position. Peacos, Hamilton, Nagy, and Barbera will also complement the position, adding talent, size, and presence. Midfielders Four players return at the midfield position, including seniors Linus Warendh, Joe DeVito, and Eduardo Liza. DeVito had an outstanding 2007 season, but struggled with injuries during the second half of the season. He played for the Atlanta Silverbacks PDL team during the summer and improved his ball handling techniques to complement his breakaway speed. Liza moves from center midfield to side midfield where he is more comfortable and more efficient. He is crafty with the ball and unpredictable and will be needed to set up and score goals this season. Linus and Kirkland will add an impact on the attacking side while newcomer Lumpkin will add a spark off the bench. Forwards Leading the helm at the defending position is senior Dathan Knott with help from Nagy and Minyono. Daser will look to Knott to fill in as a scorer. He has dealt with injuries over his career, but has had a great spring season and returns fully healthy. Nagy scored two goals last season and will be another option as a scorer off the bench. Freshman Kunle Lumpkin has the ability to score big goals and will be a great complement to play beside Dathan Knott. The Schedule The 18-game regular-season schedule opens on the road with a rematch of last year’s exhibition game against Clemson where the Panthers held off the Tigers for a 1-0 victory. The Panthers then return home for a two-match home stand against Presbyterian on Sept. 6 and USC Upstate on Sept. 8. The Panthers will hit the road for a five-game road trip, participating in two tournaments at Mercer and Wofford, facing Alabama A&M on Sept. 13 and rounding out competition at the Mercer Tournament with a match against Mercer on Sept. 14. State then travels to Spartanburg, S.C. to take on Furman and Wofford Sept. 19 and 21 in the Wofford Tournament. The five-game road trip ends with a CAA opener against Hofstra in Hempstead, N.Y. on Sept. 27. State will take on its CAA foe, Northeastern at home on Oct. 4 before getting back on the road for two straight CAA matches against UNCW and Drexel. The Panthers will host the 2007 CAA Champions, ODU, on Oct. 15 before traveling to face James Madison on Oct. 18. State returns home for a pair of conference matches against VCU and George Mason on Oct. 22 and 25 and travels for its final road match against William & Mary. The Panthers return home to play their final two games of the regular season against Towson and Delaware on Nov. 1 and 7, before preparing for the CAA Tournament, which will be held Nov. 11-6 in Virginia Beach, Va.

The team played a highly competitive conference schedule with four teams ranked in the top 10 in the final regular-season NSCAA South Atlantic regional rankings. Georgia State improved upon last year’s 116 mark, finishing the season 4-11-1, with a number of exciting matches. However, mid-season injuries to top scorers and a number of close defeats cost the team dearly. Five seniors led the Panthers in 2007- Justin Davis, Iain MacGowan, Javon Carrington, Tim Lonergan, and Floreal Pedrazo. The Panthers’ 1-0-1 exhibition performance created excitement for the season. After battling a disciplined College of Charleston team to a 1-1 tie, Georgia State proved that its players could compete with top teams. State put its talent to the test against then-ranked No. 12 Clemson in its second exhibition match in front of more than 500 fans at Panthersville Athletic Complex. The Panthers battled the Tigers to a 1-0 shutout upset victory, proving its discipline, athleticism, and potential that head coach Kerem Daser believed in. Georgia State opened the regular season battling North Florida at home and nearly upset the Ospreys after outplaying them throughout the match. State took a 10 lead in the 13th minute, but North Florida responded with two straight goals before the end of the first half. The Panthers’ defense prevented the Ospreys from extending the lead, but State couldn’t find a way to score as North Florida escaped with a 2-1 win. Georgia State grabbed its first win in a 4-3 victory over Lipscomb on the road. Floreal Pedrazo led the attack with three different Panthers, including Brian Forero and Tobias Nagy, scoring to help the Panthers to a 4-1 first period lead and the eventual win. The Panthers put their 1-1-0 record to the test as they travelled to Boca Raton, Fla. to compete in the Florida Atlantic Tournament. In the first match of the tournament, Floreal Pedrazo scored two goals to give the Panthers a late 2-1 lead against Florida Gulf Coast, but the team couldn’t hold on as they allowed three unanswered points to push them into a 3-2 overtime loss. Georgia State would drop its second straight match against a tough Florida Atlantic squad, struggling offensively and only managing two shots on goal, in the 2-0 loss. Despite the outcome, two Panthers, Floreal Pedrazo and junior midfielder Joe Devito, were named to the FAU Classic All-Tournament team for their individual contributions and performance over the weekend. After disappointing results at the FAU Tournament, the Panthers embarked on a successful midseason stretch. Demonstrating their will to beat stiff competition, the Although State dropped its season opener, the team quickly regrouped and was able to match Wofford in a 0-0 overtime tie, recording 11 shots on the day, but having difficulty closing on scoring opportunities. Floreal Pedrazo 2008 MEN’S SOCCER 23 23 2007 SEASON REVIEW Panthers’ found their offensive rhythm, shutting out Jacksonville in a 3-0 victory. Pedrazo scored two goals in the contest and Joe Devito tallied his first goal of the year to help seal the victory. Two days later, a three-man contingent of Panthers, including junior defender Tobias Nagy, junior midfielder Eduardo Liza and midfielder Floreal Pedrazo, pushed Georgia State past USC-Upstate, 3-1, spoiling the Spartans’ home opener and improving the Panthers’ record to 3-3-1 entering CAA competition. Floreal Pedrazo earned CAA Player of the Week honors for leading the CAA in points and goals with 17 and seven, respectively. Pedrazo also ranked second in the nation in goals and points per game at the mark. Filipe Carvalho led the CAA in saves with 36 and saves per game with six and was also sixth in the nation in total saves. However, the Panthers were unable to extend the winning streak to three as it opened conference play against Towson, the 2007 CAA tournament runner-up, on October 5 at the Towson Soccer Complex where the Tigers had not lost a match since 2005. The Tigers found holes in the Panthers’ defense and shut out the Panthers 6-0, scoring four goals in the second period alone. Two days later, State turned it around and bested George Mason 3-0 in a match where Floreal Pedrazo and Joe Devito connected for all of the Panthers points, to move to an even 4-4-1 record. However, the George Mason victory would be bittersweet as injuries begin to cost the team as they closed out the season. The team’s overall performance led to a No. 10 ranking in the NSCAA/Adidas South Atlantic Regional poll in October, which helped to boost the momentum leading into an 11-match CAA slate. Filipe Carvalho 24 GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY 2008 ALUMNI GAME Georgia State men’s soccer team hosted its 2nd Annual Alumni Day on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at Panthersville Athletic Complex. The annual alumni event offers an opportunity for former players to reconnect and also meet current studentathletes. Stories were shared, memories rekindled, and lots of catching up with old teammates, friends and family took place. However, the highlights of the event took place on the field where athletes from 1994-2006 competed against eachother before the Legends (1968-1993) kicked off a scrimmage that has proven to be one to be remembered. The morning rain gave way to a beautiful sunny day for alumni games as festivities kicked off at 4:30 p.m. Roughly 50 soccer alumni registered for the event and participated in two separate games. The athletes from 1994-2006, separated into two teams (A-L and M-Z) took the field first, playing to a 2-2 tie. The Legends , composed of former athletes from 1968-1993 took the field at 5:30 p.m. and played a competitive half of soccer. Though no official score was taken, as head coach Kerem Daser described, “the Legends definitely kicked it up many levels. They are a great group of guys that love the Georgia State blue and white. ” The afternoon featured live music, barbeque, and fellowship among fellow Georgia State soccer alumni, family, and friends. “Alumni Day was very successful and it was an exciting day for all who were involved,” said Daser. “It was great to see many of the alumni athletes come out and have a good time, playing some good soccer.” Alumni ended the day with a trip to Park Bench in Buckhead with thanks to former Panther Fransisco Vidal. A special thanks goes to Scott Mora for supplying Powerade at the event. 2008 MEN’S SOCCER 25 2007 RESULTS & STATISTICS SHOT STATISTICS Goals-Shot attempts Goals scored average Shot pct Shots on gal-attempts SOG pct Shots/Game Assists CORNER KICKS PENALTY KICKS PENALTIES Yellow Cards Red Cards TEAMSTATISTICS 2007COMBINEDSTATS RECORD: ALL GAMES CONFERENCE NON-CONFERENCE DATE OPPONENT OVERALL HOME ( 4-13- 1) ( 1- 7- 1) ( 1-10- 0) ( 0- 6- 0) ( 3- 3- 1) ( 1- 1- 1) W/L SCORE AWAY ( 3- 5- 0) ( 1- 4- 0) ( 2- 1- 0) OPPONENT 17-166 0.95 .102 76-166 .458 9.2 12 60 2-3 36-319 2.02 .113 164-319 .514 17.7 25 100 2-4 17 4 17 1 NEUTRAL ( 0- 1- 0) ( 0- 0- 0) ( 0- 1- 0) ##
