SERIES HISTORY
Tuesday’s game is the 25th meeting between Drake and Western Illinois with
the Bulldogs owning a 16-7-1 series advantage. A year ago, Drake edged the
Leathernecks, 1-0, on Oct. 1, 2013, in Macomb, Ill.
The Bulldogs are battling Evansville for the 27th occasion with Drake maintaining
a 14-10-2 series lead, including a 4-0-1 mark in the last five encounters. Last fall,
the Bulldogs opened their conference slate registering a 4-1 triumph at Evansville
on Oct. 5, 2013.
THE COACHES
Western Illinois: Gary Johnson is in his 18th season as head coach of the
Leathernecks’ program, owning a 150-165-33 (.478) record. In 23 years as a head
coach Johnson maintains a 194-218-36 (.473) ledger.
Evansville: In his ninth season leading the Purple Aces is Mike Jacobs, who
maintains a 75-76-9 (.497) record. This fall is his 13th campaign as a head coach
and he has recorded a 104-113-14 (.481) ledger.
Drake: In his 17th year on the Drake sidelines as head coach is Sean Holmes,
who has a 139-145-37 mark (.491), including 217-171-39 (.554) overall, in his 21st
year as a head coach.

season marks his 17th campaign directing the Bulldogs’ fortunes.
During Holmes’ 17-year tenure, the Bulldogs have posted a 139-145-37 record,
building a legacy of excellence on Drake’s campus and in the Missouri Valley
Conference. In 21 years as a head coach he has amassed a 217-171-39 overall
record.
The 2013 campaign proved to be a series of ebbs and flows for the Bulldogs,
who finished the season with an 8-8-4 ledger, including a 3-1-2 second-place
effort in the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake rebounded after getting off to a
0-3-1 start to raise its ledger to 8-5-3 following a 2-1 victory in its home finale
versus Bradley before closing the campaign with a 0-3-1 record.

Brian Wurst and Matt Kuhn in 2009 and 2011, respectively. He was the second
Drake men’s soccer student-athlete to collect national honors twice and the first
to do so in consecutive years. Additionally, Marshall and Thomas Schermoly
garnered first-team All-MVC Men’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete honors.
The NSCAA recognized Drake for its academic prowess by naming it as a
College Team Academic Award Winner for 2013. The Bulldogs were honored for
the ninth time in program history after registering a team grade point average of
3.22 for the 2012-13 academic year.
Holmes came to Drake after serving as the top assistant at conference-rival
Evansville from 1995-98. During his tenure at Evansville, the Aces compiled a 4730-6 record, winning the 1996 MVC championship. The team, which he helped

FROM A BULLDOG TO A DOCTOR
Thomas Schermoly has had a busy fall balancing his athletic
and academic endeavors along with preparing to take the
medical college admission test (MCAT) to pursue his career
dream of becoming a doctor. He recently took his tests and is
actively in the process of applying to medical schools.
THE TIME TO SHINE

years as the flipping of the calendar from September to October
has ignited the Bulldogs into some of their best soccer of the
season. In Drake’s last 11 campaigns under head coach Sean
Holmes, the Bulldogs own a 39-25-10 record (.595) and have
posted seven consecutive winning months in October.

A LEGACY OF SUCCESS
Now in his 17th year as head coach at Drake, Sean Holmes has built the Bulldogs into a formidable foe for opponents.
Under his leadership, Drake has posted winning records in nine of the last 12 seasons and most recently in six of the last
seven campaigns. Since 2002, his squads have registered a 116-99-34 (.534) overall ledger. In Missouri Valley Conference
action over the same span, the Bulldogs own a 31-30-16 (.506) mark, including seven consecutive winning campaigns.
OVER OUR LAST FIVE GAMES
The Bulldogs own a 1-4 mark in their last five contests, with three of the five occurring away from home. Three Drake
players have registered a goal. Alec Bartlett and Eric Williams direct Drake with 10 and nine shots, respectively, in the five
games. Darrin MacLeod has been peppered by 79 shots in that span in goal and has recorded 27 saves.
IN OUR LAST MEETINGS
Drake 1, Western Illinois 0 (Oct. 1, 2013)
MACOMB, Ill. - Nick Marshall’s first-half goal proved to be all the scoring Drake needed as the Bulldogs registered a 1-0
victory past Western Illinois.
Marshall staked the Bulldogs to a 1-0 advantage on the strength of his second goal of the season at the 8:18 mark. Earning
the assists on the tally were Addison Eck and Mueng Sunday (Coralville, Iowa/Iowa City West).
Drake posted a 7-4 advantage in shots in the initial stanza, including 3-0 on goal.
The Leathernecks’ offense surged in the second half outshooting the Bulldogs, 12-3, en route to recording a 16-10 margin
for the game.
Darrin MacLeod made all of his game-high seven saves in the second half.
Jarred Arde led Drake with a game-high three shots.
Drake 4, Evansville 1 (Oct. 5, 2013)
EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Thomas Schermoly’s three-goal performance sparked Drake to a come-from-behind 4-1 victory over
Evansville in the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference opener for both schools.
The hat trick was the first for a Bulldog since Jesse Baker recorded three goals in a 3-2 triumph past No. 16 Creighton on
Oct. 26, 2005.
The four goals for Drake marked the most in a conference game for the Bulldogs since posting a 4-1 win at Eastern Illinois
on Nov. 4, 2009.
Evansville assumed a 1-0 lead in the affair after Patrick Hodges headed in a corner kick from Faik Hajderovic at the 7:54
mark.
The Purples Aces maintained their advantage until Schermoly evened the affair at one connecting on his first goal of
the season in the 26th minute (25:10). Ben LeMay played the ball into Schermoly in the box, who took the pass and beat
Evansville goalkeeper Eric Teppen from six yards out.
The score was tied at halftime, despite the Purple Aces owning an 11-5 advantage in shots in the initial stanza.
The Bulldogs took the lead for good when Schermoly delivered what proved to be the game-winning tally in the 49th minute
(48:11). Austin Reutzel (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Prairie) played a long ball over the defense that Schermoly converted into a
2-1 Drake advantage.
The Bulldogs extended their margin to 3-1 after Danton Irelan recorded his fourth goal of the year at the 57:46 mark.
Earning the assist on the tally was Bryan Jantsch.
Schermoly capped off his scoring explosion with his third goal of the afternoon in the 80th minute (79:16). Brandon Welter
(Mankato, Minn./Mankato East) was credited with the assist on the score.
Evansville posted a 21-9 advantage in shots in the game, including 9-5 on goal. Drake made the most of its opportunities
as four of the Bulldogs’ five shots on goal found the back of the net.
Schermoly led the Drake attack with a team-high three shots.
Darrin MacLeod made a game-high six saves for the Bulldogs. Drake benefitted from a pair of team saves that thwarted
Evansville scoring opportunities.
BULLDOGS HONORED
A trio of Bulldogs were honored when College Sport Madness released its men’s soccer MVC preseason team. Darrin
MacLeod was tabbed as a first-team honoree, while Alec Bartlett and sophomore Mueng Sunday were chosen as a
second-team selections.
DRAKE MIXING YOUNG AND OLD IN 2014
The Bulldogs enter the 2014 campaign looking to build upon an 8-8-4 mark last season, including a second-place 3-1-2
ledger in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Drake is seeking to integrate 12 newcomers this season onto a roster that boasts 10 returning lettermen from a year
ago.
Included among the returnees are Drake’s six starters from the close of the 2013 campaign, led by a quartet of All-Missouri
Valley Conference performers in redshirt junior Alec Bartlett, redshirt sophomores Darrin MacLeod and Ben LeMay and
sophomore Mueng Sunday.
Bartlett was named a first-team All-MVC selection, while Sunday was tabbed a second-team honoree. LeMay, MacLeod
and Sunday were all recognized as all-freshman team recipients.
Complimenting that quartet is the return of senior Thomas Schermoly and junior Austin Reutzel, both starters in 2013.
Drake also will welcome the return of redshirt junior Kyle Whigham (Overland Park, Kan./St. Thomas Aquinas), who missed
nearly the entire 2013 campaign due to injury.
BULLDOGS DUO EARNS PRESEASON ALL-MVC ACCOLADES
Drake redshirt junior Alec Bartlett and redshirt sophomore Darrin MacLeod were among 12 players tabbed by a vote of
the seven Missouri Valley Conference head men’s soccer coaches as All-MVC Preseason first-team selections, the league
announced on Aug. 20.
OUR TOWN.
YOUR TEAM.

In 2013, he registered a goal and an assist on 13 shots en route to sparking the Bulldogs to five shutouts.
MacLeod started 15 of the 17 games he played in last fall en route to recording 76 saves, five shutouts and a 1.15 goals
against average. He finished second, third and fourth, respectively, in the conference in save percentage (.809), goals against
