On September 19, 1992, before a crowd of 4,417 fans, which included former players and then-NCAA executive di-

rector Dick Schultz, South Hill Field was re-named Jim Butterfield Stadium. The move by the Ithaca College Board of Trustees placed the name most associated with the school’s football program on the facility. Butterfield joined Gram-bling’s Eddie Robinson and Roy Kidd of Eastern Kentucky as college football’s only active coaches to have their home field named for them. Recognized as one of the top natural-grass facili-ties in Division III football, Butterfield Stadium has seating capacity for approximately 5,000 spectators, although crowds of more than 10,000 fans have at-tended games there—including a facility-record 12,620 for the 2001 Cortland game.

Ithaca has posted undefeated home records 15 times since 1958. Since the NCAA adopted a three- division format in 1973, Ithaca has lost just 30 games at home, with 11 of those coming at the hands of Di-vision II opponents. Ithaca is 13-6 in NCAA playoff games at the facility and 2-1 in ECAC postseason competition. The Bombers have won over 80 percent of their Butterfield Stadium/South Hill Field games. In 1998 the Bombers celebrated their 200th game at South Hill Field/Butterfield Stadium by beating St. Law-rence, 60-0. During coach Jim Butterfield’s 27-sea-son career, the team’s home record was 117-25-1, a winning percentage of .822. A 17-16 victory over Lycoming in the 2008 sea-son-opener was the 200th Ithaca win at the stadium. A number of improvements have been made since the facility was first used in 1958, including the latest renovation—a new scoreboard and mes-sage board installed in 2004. The press box, which was constructed in 1960, was renovated in 1985 and again in 1998. The track, resurfaced most recently in 1997, has played host to championships in the In-dependent College Athletic Conference, the Empire Athletic Association, the New York State Women’s Collegiate Athletic Association and the Eastern Col-lege Athletic Conference.

ITHACA COLLEGE Football History

One of the school’s most successful athletic programs, the Ithaca football team also ranks among the top programs in the nation. The

many highlights of Bomber football include: Three NCAA Division III football championships, a total surpassed only by Augustana and Mount Union. Seven appearances in the Division III

national championship game, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.

Totals of 41 playoff games and 27 wins (both among the Division III leaders).

The fourth-best winning percentage in Division III (.660).

Eight Lambert/Meadowlands Cups, presented to the top small-college program in the East each season; and nine Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) team of the year trophies.

ECAC championships in 1984, 1996, 1998 and 2004.

Four years ago the Bombers recorded the pro-gram’s 400th victory.

Ithaca’s Division III teams have been guided by coach Jim Butterfield, a 1997 inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame, and current coach Mike Welch, a player and assistant coach under Butterfield.

Following Butterfield’s retire-ment in 1993, Welch was named Ithaca’s ninth head football coach. His first team finished the

regular season with six consecutive wins to earn the program’s 12th NCAA playoff berth. The Bombers posted playoff wins over Buffalo State (in overtime) and Plymouth State and nearly reached the Stagg Bowl, losing, 23-19, in the semifinals to Washing-

ton & Jefferson. Ithaca slipped to 5-4 in 1995 but was back in the postseason hunt again in 1996. The Bombers capped a 7-3 season with the ECAC Northeast championship, thanks to a 27-21 win at Worcester State. In 1997, a seven-game winning streak put Ithaca in the playoff race, but back-to-back losses by a total of eight points in the season’s last two games knocked the Bombers out of postseason contention. The 1998 team won eight of 10 regular- season games, then routed Hartwick, 40-6, in the ECAC North championship. A year later Ithaca made its 17th postseason appearance, reaching the ECAC Northwest championship. In 2001 the Bombers made a run in the NCAA tournament for the second time under Welch. After a 9-1 regular season, the 2001 team traveled to Montclair State and Rensselaer to post two playoff wins. The Bombers then fell to Rowan to end the successful season. The 2003 season saw road wins over Brockport and Montclair State in the NCAA playoffs before a snowy loss at Rensselaer in the national quarterfinals. The 2005 team reached

the NCAA playoffs for the 15th time and the 2007 and 2008 teams reached the NCAA postseason as well.

When Butterfield arrived at Ithaca in 1967 for his first collegiate head coaching post, Ithaca’s schedule included top teams like Lehigh, West Chester, and C.W. Post. His first seven seasons produced a 29-29 record, before the program took off in the 1974 sea-son.

Ithaca won 10 straight games that season, scoring over 25 points in all but one of those games. An NCAA playoff win over Slippery Rock put Ithaca into its first Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, where the team lost to Central (Iowa), 10-8. Ithaca won the Division III team offense title that year, averaging 487.9 yards per game, a total topped by only four teams since. The Bombers were back in the national champion-ship game a year later, posting 10 straight wins (five by shutout). In one of those shutouts, a 61-0 win over Springfield, Ithaca’s defense set Division III records for fewest total yards allowed (minus 50) and few-est rushing yards allowed (minus 94). In the playoffs, the Bombers topped Fort Valley and Widener before

ITHACA COLLEGElosing to Wittenberg, 28-0. All-Americans Jerry Boyes, a quarterback, and running back Dave Re-mick were mainstays on those first two Stagg Bowl teams.

Wittenberg again eliminated the Bombers from the postseason in 1978, a season that saw Ithaca lead Division III in rushing offense (averaging 320.1 yards per game). A year later the Bombers upset the three top seeds on the way to the school’s first na-tional championship in any sport. Linebacker John Laper, the school’s career leader in tackles, and run-ning back Bob Ferrigno, who tops the program in postseason rushing yards, were two of the top players on that team. The Bombers were back in the Stagg Bowl in 1980 and 1985, and reached the semifinals in 1986.

The 1988 season brought another national champi-onship. The Bombers were 9-1 in the regular season, posted an overtime win over defending champion Wagner in a first-round playoff game, avenged their regular-season loss to Cortland in the second round and defeated Ferrum in the semifinals to earn a sixth Stagg Bowl visit. Ithaca’s 39-24 win over Central gave the program its second national championship. The Bombers set four playoff records: most points (159), first downs (91), net yards rushing (1,377) and total offense (1,719 yards).

Two freshmen who played in the 1988 champion-ship game—quarterback Todd Wilkowski and kicker Matt Sullivan—were back in the Stagg Bowl again in 1991. Wilkowski set a number of school passing records as a senior. After a week-four loss to Spring-field put postseason hopes in jeopardy, Wilkowski (who was inducted into Ithaca’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002) engineered two scoring drives in the final minutes the following week against American International en route to a 23-20 win. Ithaca won its remaining four regular-season games and then beat Glassboro State, Union and Susquehanna in the play-

offs to set up the Stagg Bowl return.In the national championship game, Wilkowski

passed for 262 yards and two touchdown passes and Jeff Wittman rushed for three touchdowns as Ithaca defeated Dayton, 34-20. Ithaca’s 94 first downs and 1,867 yards in total offense were NCAA playoff re-cords.

Ithaca made its 11th appearance in the NCAA postseason in 1992, but had its three-year streak broken in Butterfield’s last year.

Butterfield was named Kodak Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association in 1988 and 1991, and earned District I honors from the same organization seven times: in 1974, from 1978-80, and again from 1984-86.

Ed Mahoney (80), who was inducted into Ithaca’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008, earned all-America

honors as both a punter and placekicker.

Following Ithaca’s national championship seasons in 1979, 1988 and 1991, Butterfield was presented the Stan Lomax-Irving T. Marsh Award as Eastern coach of the year by the New York Football Writers Association. The 1988 season also brought him Di-vision III coach of the year recognition from Chev-rolet.

National recognition came to his players as well, with 85 of his Bombers winning 149 all-American spots.

Already a member of the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame, Butterfield added to his long list of accomplishments in 1997 when he became the first member of the Bomber football program to earn induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Ithaca’s football program began in 1930, under coach Leonard Schreck. At that time, Ithaca played a five-game schedule that included freshman teams from St. Lawrence and Colgate, and varsity teams from Mansfield, Hartwick and Cortland.

Coach Bucky Freeman took over in 1931 and led the Bomb-ers to their first winning season, a 3-2 mark. His 13-year tenure fea-tured nine winning seasons. Freeman coached back Ken Patrick, who still ranks among the program’s rushing leaders with 1,500 yards.

BUCKY FREEMAN

Football was discontinued from 1943-45. Between 1946 and 1957, Pete Hatch, Joseph Hamilton and

Art Orloske served as Ithaca’s head coaches.

The hiring of Dick Lyon in 1958 produced a resurgence in the program. On the heels of a 2-5 season, Lyon’s first team posted a 6-1 record in 1958. That team, cap-tained by lineman John Fasolino, a member of the Ithaca Athletic Hall of Fame, held the opposition to eight points or fewer in six of

seven games.In 1959 an incentive was added to the already com-

petitive Ithaca-Cortland rivalry. Team captains Dick Carmean from Ithaca and Tom Decker of Cortland joined to donate a traveling trophy, named the Corta-ca Jug, to be presented to the winning team each year. Today the matchup is one of the most prominent in Division III. The last eight Cortaca Jug games held in Ithaca have attracted crowds of 9,500 or more.

Ithaca posted three straight 6-2 records from 1962-64. Among the standouts of the period were 1962 all-American running back Bill O’Dell and Sam Curko, a guard, linebacker and kicker who earned all-America honors in 1963. In 1965 the Bombers finished 8-0 for the program’s first undefeated sea-son. Quarterback James Harris passed for 1,269 yards and nine touchdowns that year.

Lyon’s teams posted a winning record every season. In 1967 he joined the football staff at Army, opening the door for the arrival of Butterfield.

Dick Lyon Press Box ITHACA COLLEGE

At a special ceremony held in 1998, the press box at Butterfield Sta-

dium was renamed the Dick Lyon Press Box in honor of the former Bomber coach. The ceremony, which was part of Ithaca’s Homecoming Week-end festivities, also coincided with the 40th anniversary of the first football game played at the facility (formerly known as South Hill Field).

A group of coach Lyon’s former players spearheaded a fund-raising drive that enabled the school to make improvements to the press box, which includes private coaching booths for both teams and broadcast facilities for up to four radio sta-tions and ICTV.

PHENIX CITY, Ala.—Quarterback Doug Bencsko passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and the Bomber defense limited top-ranked Wittenberg to just 10 points to secure Ithaca’s first national championship.

The win marked the fourth time in five tries that the Bombers had beaten an undefeated opponent.

The two teams scored on consecutive possessions in the first half. After recovering an Ithaca fumble in the first quarter, Wittenberg drove 51 yards on 11 plays to score the first points. The Bombers tied the game on their next possession, a 15-play, 76-yard drive capped by Bencsko’s 11-yard touchdown pass to split end Jim Meyer. The Tigers moved ahead again on a field goal with five seconds remaining in the first half.

Another long drive, this one covering 58 yards in 11 plays, led to Bencsko’s one-yard touchdown dive. The score, with 1:33 left in the third quarter, turned out to be the last of the game.

All four Tiger fumbles occurred in Ithaca territory, and two were recovered by the Bombers inside the15-yard line. Linebacker Harry Moss and nose guard Don Phillips each had 12 total tackles for Ithaca, and defensive back Tony Smith added 10. All-American linebacker John Laper and defensive tackle Jimmy Hoffman had nine tackles apiece.

PHENIX CITY, Ala.—Stagg Bowl most valuable player Paul Parker rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns, leading Ithaca to a 39-24 win over Cen-tral.

Central came into the game yielding an aver-age of fewer than 100 rushing yards per game, but Ithaca rushed for 408 on the afternoon. The pass-ing attack was effective as well, as quarterbacks Todd Wilkowski and Tom Pasquale combined to complete 11 of 15 passes for 116 yards. The team completion mark of .733 established an Ithaca play-off record.

Touchdown runs of 23 and 26 yards by Parker, a five-yard scoring run by Wilkowski, and Matt Sul-livan’s 42-yard field goal helped Ithaca build a 25-8 advantage. The Dutchmen closed the gap to10 points on a third-quarter touchdown, but on the following kickoff Mike Scott scored on an 84-yard return. Parker’s third touchdown put the game out of reach in the fourth.

BRADENTON, Fla.—Ithaca captured its third na-tional championship with a 34-20 win over Dayton in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl at Hawkins Stadium.

Junior fullback Jeff Wittman scored three touch-downs and finished with 159 yards rushing on a school playoff-record 30 carries. Wittman’s touch-down runs covered one, three and six yards.

Senior quarterback Todd Wilkowski completed15 of 25 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdown passes went to senior split end Nick Ismailoff, who made 10 receptions for 193 yards.

The defense was equally impressive. In the second half, Ithaca did not allow a first down and yielded only 13 yards to the Dayton offense.

Long-time NFL assistant coach Tony Wise, a 1973 Ithaca graduate, visited the Bombers’ preseason camp in 2005 to work with the team’s offensive linemen.

Wise, a member of Ithaca’s Hall of Fame, was a classmate of Bomber head coach Mike Welch.

ITHACA COLLEGE

16 Football 2009

Ithaca College’s ninth head football coach, Welch has continued the success of one of Division III’s winningest programs. His teams have been con-

sistent playoff contenders, and he owns a record of 121-43 (.738) as Bomber coach. He achieved another milestone in 2006 when he was elected to the Ameri-can Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board of Trustees, where he is one of just two Division III coaches. Taking over for Jim Butterfield, one of college football’s most successful coaches, Welch was col-lege football’s most successful rookie coach in 1994. He led the Bombers to a 10-3 record and the NCAA Division III semifinals that year. He posted more victories (10) than any other first-year NCAA coach. For his efforts, Welch was named Division III coach of the year by College Sports magazine and Eastern Division III coach of the year (Stan Lomax-Irving Marsh Award) by the Football Writers of New York. The 1996 season saw a return to postseason play for Ithaca. The Bombers started the season with five straight wins and at one point earned the top spot in the NCAA Division III East Region rankings. Ithaca won the ECAC Northeast champi-onship by downing previously unbeaten Worcester State, 27-21. The 1998 and 199 teams also made ECAC playoff appearances. In 2001 the Bomb-

ers reached the NCAA quarterfinals, posting road wins at Montclair State and Rensselaer. The 2003 Bombers reached the national quarterfinals after recording NCAA playoff wins at Brockport and Montclair State. In 2004 Ithaca routed Massachu-setts-Dartmouth in an ECAC postseason game and a year later the Bombers won their fourth straight Empire 8 title and reached the NCAA playoffs for the 15th time. In the past two years Bombers have made consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament (for the first time since 1992). A high school standout at Dansville, Welch was coached there by Ithaca Athletic Hall of Fame mem-ber Tom Vogt ’64 and earned all-county honors as a junior halfback and a senior linebacker. Dansville was 16-0 during Welch’s sophomore and junior seasons. At Ithaca he earned two letters playing for Butterfield. A running back, he missed most of his sophomore season with an ankle injury. Welch was named the Bombers’ most-improved back as a junior after gaining 467 yards on 117 carries. The starter at fullback and a captain as a senior, Welch was again slowed by an injury but still gained 257 yards on 61 attempts. Welch also spent four years with the la-crosse program, including two with the varsity. From 1973-76 Welch worked as an assistant football coach at Rush-Henrietta High School in Rochester. He earned his master’s degree from Al-

winning seasons in 2008 and made the program’s fifth trip to the NCAA playoffs in eight years (and 18th overall). Ithaca brings back 41 letter-winners, including 12 starters.

2008 REVIEW: Ithaca’s 9-2 record marked the 20th time in the past 35 years that the Bombers have won at least eight games.

ITHACA COLLEGE

THE DEFENSE: Ithaca brings back 22 letter-winners from a unit that posted the Empire 8’s second-best scoring defense and rush defense. Eight starters return, along with five other players who have seen starting duty.

DEFENSIVE LINE: Ithaca returns all four start-ers and the list is headed by seniors Adam Drescher, a team captain, and preseason all-American Joe Go-etz. Both have seen starting duty since their freshman seasons.

A second-team Empire all-star, Drescher has com-piled 100 tackles (including 26 for loss) while mak-ing 23 starts over the past three seasons. Also lining up at one end spot will be seniors Scott Auchenbach and Brad Payne and junior Sean Gil. Auchenbach missed most of last year with an injury; he recorded four tackles (two for loss) in his two appearances. A former tight end, Payne lettered in his first season on the defensive side after picking up a pair of tackles in eight games. Gil is in his second year with the varsity.

Three veterans return at the other end spot. Junior Matt Dibble took over as the starter in midseason and wound up second on the team in tackles for loss (12) and sacks (five). Sophomore Chris Collier also returns. One of eight Ithaca freshmen to letter in 2008, he made nine tackles while playing in all but two games.

Goetz, an all-region and all-conference pick last fall, has picked up a third of his career tackles behind the line of scrimmage (33 of 99) and has made 10 sacks. Classmate Kyle Scharles, another three-year letter winner, has started 13 games over the past two

seasons while making 32 tackles. Junior Andrew Haim, who played in eight games last year – starting once – has lettered in both his Bomber seasons.

LINEBACKERS: Six letter-winners are back this season, with four Bombers who combined to start 22 games last fall returning.

Matt Scalice enters his final season as one of Di-vision III’s top defensive players. D3football.com’s East Region Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, he’s averaged 7.6 tackles per game in his career; maintaining that pace would put him second on the program’s all-time list at the end of the regular sea-son. Scalice’s return (he was granted a fifth year of eligibility after missing playing just three games as a freshman) marks the first time the Bombers have brought back a first-team all-American since Jeff Wittman in 1992.

Junior Pat Scott and sophomore Ryan Clarke also return at middle linebacker. Scott made nine tackles (three for loss) as Scalice’s back-up last year. Clarke started times games at outside linebacker and finished with 36 tackles despite missing three games. Senior Eric Berger, who rejoins the program, and sophomore Tyler Murray (a junior varsity player in 2008), are also in the mix.

Junior Morgan Abdelnour is the most experi-enced candidate at one outside spot. A starter in the season’s final three games, he finished with 43 tack-les (including four for loss). Sophomore Eric Topo-roff lettered as Ithaca’s punter last fall but is ex-pected to see significant playing time at linebacker. Sophomore Jusan Hamilton (a member of Ithaca’s track & field team last year) joined the program last

Adam Drescher, Tyler Baker and Kyle Scharles (l. to r.) have all seen starting action for the past two seasons.

At the third linebacker spot, sophomore Joe Gil-fedder and senior Tyler Baker are the leading can-didates. Gilfedder lettered as a freshman after play-ing in six games. Baker, a part-time starter in 2007 and 2008, has made 65 career tackles, including 26 last year. Sophomores Jordan McElroy is up from the junior varsity team.

SECONDARY: A pair of starters and two other defensive backs with starting experience are on the Bomber roster. Junior strong safety David Ahonen earned all-conference honors last year and his 57 tackles and eight pass break-ups are the most by a re-turning defensive back. Ahonen has made 68 career tackles and picked off three passes last year. Senior Bobby DeForrest and junior Kevin Accetta both return to the varsity this season. Sophomore Kevin Cline is up from the junior varsity team.

At free safety, senior Chad Herring made six stops last year while earning his second letter. Junior Tyler Rauber is back for a second varsity season.

Sophomore Spencer White heads the list of re-turning cornerbacks. A starter in the final seven games, he made 45 tackles and broke up five passes. Junior Tom Eschen, a 2008 letter winner, will push for playing time as well. Juniors Aaron Castonguay and newcomer Brendan Kurtz are also available.

The other cornerback spot features returning let-ter-winners Mike Conti and Andy Lonsky. Conti played in all but one game as a Bomber freshman. Lonsky, a transfer from Shippensburg, made 11 tackles and scored on an interception return in his first Ithaca season.

letter-winners who return from an offense that ranked 20th nationally by averaging 36.36 points per game last fall. The Bombers’ average of 421.7 yards per game marked the fourth time in the five years they’ve put up over 400 yards of total offense per game.

RUNNING BACKS: The Bombers averaged 194.1 yards per game on the ground last year (the program’s third-highest mark in 17 years) and bring back five running backs, including record-breaking Thomas Bergerstock.

Bergerstock scored a Bomber-record 20 touch-downs as a junior and his 1,240 yards were just 67 short of another school single-season mark. A third-team all-region and first-team all-conference pick, he posted a pair of five-TD performances.

Junior Dan Ruggiero ran for 425 yards and five touchdowns in the season’s final three games after an injury sidelined Bergerstock (he finished with 659 yards and seven scores on the season). His 192-yard, four-TD performance in the win at Alfred that clinched the league title earned him Empire 8 Offen-sive Player of the Week honors and two weeks later his 33 carries against Curry set a Bomber playoff record.

Junior Luke Herrington, a transfer from St. John Fisher who gained 123 yards in four games with the Cardinals last fall, and sophomore Adam Lajara, who’s up from the junior varsity team, are also can-didates.

Three letter-winning fullbacks return to the Bomb-er rushing attack, including senior Danny Witbeck. A three-year letter-winner, Witbeck has been a key blocker in Ithaca’s offense. Junior Lance Baumgart-ner has lettered in both his seasons as a Bomber and made his first career start in the win at Alfred. Senior

ITHACA COLLEGE Joe Nicoletti, who’d lettered as a reserve linebacker in 2007, picked up his second letter last year after moving to fullback.

Sophomore Eric Cerio, a junior varsity player last fall, and sophomore Aaron Sader-Rubinstein, a transfer from Iona, are also in Ithaca’s backfield.

QUARTERBACK: Pressed into first-string duty for the final 10 quarters of the season, Brian Grastorf threw for 537 yards and six scores to lead the Bombers past undefeated Cortland and into the NCAA playoffs. Now a senior captain, Grastorf has compiled 955 yards and nine TD’s in his career while accumulating a quarterback rating of 143.0.

Junior Rob Zappia, a baseball teammate of Gras-torf’s as well, was Ithaca’s third quarterback the past two years. Sophomore Mike Matthews, who red-shirted at Division I-AA Delaware, will also push for playing time.

RECEIVERS: Ithaca brings back five letter-win-ners, including a pair of players with starting experi-ence. Junior Thomas Vossler was Ithaca’s leading wide receiver in his first varsity season, catching 41 passes and averaging 13.0 yards per reception. Se-nior Shane O’Malley, who’s played in 16 games over the past two seasons, made his first career start in the NCAA playoff game against Curry. Junior Dan Ruffrage, who played in just three games last year because of an injury, is another top candidate for a starting spot.

Senior Chad LaChance, juniors Sean Heenehan and Chris McConnell ( a converted cornerback) and sophomore Alex Hendrickson all return to the var-sity roster. Sophomores Eric Breton, Tom Coady and Matt Hannon are all up from last year’s junior varsity team.

Three returning letter-winners return at tight end. Senior Sean Puckhaber and junior Dan Higgins both saw regular duty as back-ups last year (Higgins

caught four passes). Junior Matt Crandall moves to tight end from running back; he contributed 76 rush-ing yards and a pair of touchdowns last season.

Juniors Charlie Calovich, a former fullback, and Jack Scott will also push for playing time, along with sophomore Alex Price.

OFFENSIVE LINE: Ithaca featured one of Di-vision III’s top offensive lines last fall; five letter winners, including a pair of Bombers with starting experience, are back this year.

Heading the list is 6-8 right tackle Jake Queener. The former starter at Division I-AA Maine started every game and earned first-team all-Empire 8 recog-nition in his first season in a Bomber uniform. Junior Vinnie Diana, a returning varsity player, is another candidate.

The most experienced contender for the other tackle spot is junior Leland King. A letter-winner in 2008, King also lined up as a blocking tight end. Sophomores Mike Glickman and Bob Levenfeld are also pushing for playing time.

At guard, the Bombers bring back Kevin Heinzel-man, who was granted a fifth year of eligibility after missing the 2006 season. He made a pair of starts at right guard last season. Sophomores Sal Arena and Greg Peck, junior varsity players as freshmen, are also available.

Junior Rich Mallon has the most playing experi-ence of the candidates at left guard. Other choices in-clude junior Jason Zweig, who’s being moved from defensive end, and junior Brian Murray, a former starter at Division I-AA Pace.

Senior centers Mike Boch and Mark Rodovick, who both lettered as reserve linemen in 2008, are the top candidates for the last starting spot.

SPECIAL TEAMS: Once again last season, Ithaca fielded one of the nation’s best special teams units. The Bombers ranked ninth in the nation in punt

Jake Queener (73) and Kevin Heinzelman (73) return from one of Division III’s top offensive lines.

marking their longest winning streak against any opponent. Ithaca’s games against Union and Wid-ener will be the program’s first regular-season game against either opponent, but both have been Bomber victims in the NCAA playoffs (Ithaca beat Union in 1985, 1986 and on the way to the 1991 national title; the Bombers beat Widener in 1975 to reach the Stagg Bowl). Empire 8 play kicks off Sept. 26 for the Bombers when they travel to Utica. Ithaca has won five of the league’s seven championships, post-ing a 33-6 conference record since football became an Empire 8 sport in 2002. The next three weeks feature three Homecoming games; Ithaca celebrates its own Homecoming against St. John Fisher Oct. 10 between visits to Utica and Frostburg State for those schools’ Homecoming games. Ithaca has treated its Homecoming fans to a win 25 times in the past 27 years and the Bombers have won eight straight road games as a Homecoming opponent. Following a week off Ithaca travels to Springfield for its final regular-season road trip, then returns home for the season’s final two games. The Bombers host Alfred Nov. 7 to close out their Empire 8 schedule then take on visiting Cortland in the 51st Cortaca Jug game. The game, which annually draws more than 10,000 fans to Ithaca’s Butterfield Stadium (capacity 5,000), is one of Division III’s signature rivalries. The Bombers hold series lead against all 10 of their 2009 opponents. Three made postseason appearances last fall with Cortland playing in the NCAA playoffs and Alfred and St. John Fisher picked for ECAC games.

#18 ITHACA 17, Lycoming 16 Lycoming (0-1) 0 3 0 13 — 16 Ithaca (1-0) 3 7 0 7 — 17 ITHACA, N.Y. —The #18 Bombers rallied to beat the visit-ing Lycoming Warriors 17-16, opening the season with a win for the 28th time in 32 years. Senior cornerback Jason Chier intercepted two passes and blocked an extra point. The win was Ithaca’s 200th in Butterfield Stadium/South Hill Field.

The Bombers used a touchdown and extra point with 4:14 left to seal the win. Senior running back Justin Kulp capped a 10-play, 72-yard drive with a seven-yard touchdown and freshman Andrew Rogowski followed with the game-winning extra point.

The Warriors’ final drive ended when Chier made a diving interception inside the Bomber 30 with 11 seconds remaining. He was named Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts and also earned a spot on D3football.com’s Team of the Week.

Ithaca held a 10-3 lead before the Warriors scored touch-downs on consecutive fourth-quarter possessions. Following their go-ahead touchdown, Chier blocked the extra-point attempt.

The Bombers took leads of 3-0 – on a 29-yard field goal by sophomore Dillon Dwyer– and 10-3. Their first touchdown was a one-yard run by sophomore Matt Crandall. Crandall’s first career touchdown came two plays after the Warriors were called for roughing the kicker on a successful 25-yard field goal attempt by Dwyer. Dwyer was injured on the play, leading to Rogowski taking over on extra point attempts.

Junior cornerback Chris Grady, one of seven Bombers making their first career start, recorded a personal-best 12 tackles. Junior strong safety Roniel Bencosme added a career-high seven. Junior defensive tackle Joe Goetz recorded a pair of sacks among his six tackles.

Sophomore running back Thomas Bergerstock, one of five first-time offensive starters, rushed for a team-best 78 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Thomas Vossler, another first-time starter, caught four passes for a team-leading 63 yards. Senior quarterback Dan Juvan completed 11 of 24 passes for 142 yards.

Junior defensive end Adam Drescher and senior defensive tackle John Cirba (first career) had sacks. Senior linebacker Matt Scalice made five tackles and broke up two passes.

The group of senior left tackle Sean Mirkov, senior left guard Chris Gray, junior center Ben Garvey, senior right guard Eric Russo and junior right tackle Jake Queener was collectively named Empire 8 Offensive Player of the Week, marking the first time in the conference’s seven years of weekly awards that a team’s offensive line was honored. They did not allow a sack for the second straight game.

Senior quarterback Dan Juvan completed 21 of 34 passes for 217 yards and a seven-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver Zach Connett (the first of his career). Senior tight end Brian Weverbergh caught a game-high six passes for a team-leading 82 yards. Senior wideout Kyle Crandall and junior fullback Dan Witbeck both caught four passes. Witbeck’s total was a career high, as was Bergerstock’s three receptions.

Sophomore running back Matt Crandall closed out the scor-ing with a 14-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run. Freshman kicker Andrew Rogowski converted all seven of his extra-point attempts. Ithaca picked up a safety when Connett chased the Bobcat punter out of the end zone after a bad snap.

Ithaca held the Bobcats to 84 rushing yards and one-of-11 efficiency on third down. Senior linebacker John Scanlon made 10 tackles, including two for loss. Freshman linebacker Ryan Clarke made seven stops and forced a fumble that sophomore strong safety David Ahonen recovered to set up Ithaca’s go-ahead touchdown. Ahonen intercepted a pass on Frostburg State’s next drive to set up another touchdown.

Freshman cornerback Spencer White added nine tackles. Senior linebacker Matt Scalice collected two tackles for loss and a pair of pass break-ups. Junior defensive tackle Kyle Scharles made a career-best six tackles.

Bergerstock’s five touchdowns marked the second time in four games he’d tied the school’s single-game record. He went over the 1,000-yard mark for both his career (he’s the 29th Bomber to reach that total) and the season (posting the program’s eighth 1,000-yard season).

The Bombers ran for 227 yards and outgained Utica 477-206 in beating the Pioneers (whose first-year coach, Blaise Faggiano, won a Stagg Bowl as a Bomber nose guard and spent four seasons as an Ithaca assistant coach) for the eighth time in as many meetings.

Bergerstock gained 138 yards on 33 carries and capped five of Ithaca’s first eight drives with touchdown runs (the Bombers were intercepted in the end zone on their second drive and took a knee to run out the clock at the end of the first half).

Senior quarterback Dan Juvan threw for 250 yards, compet-ing 15 of 25 passes in the torrential rain. He threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Kyle Crandall for Ithaca’s third score.

Crandall caught five passes for 76 yards. Sophomore wide-out Thomas Vossler caught four and led Ithaca with a career-best 84 yards. Junior fullback Dan Witbeck caught three passes for a career-high 50 yards. Freshman kicker Andrew Rogowski made all six of his extra-point attempts.

The Bombers held Utica to 39 yards of total offense and three first downs in the first half and game totals of 52 passing yards (in 19 attempts), 130 rushing yards in 40 attempts and three of 14 success on third and fourth downs. The Pioneers drove 66 plays on their first second-half possession, but a first-and-goal from the Ithaca three ended when their 21-yard field goal attempt was blocked by sophomore David Ahonen.

Senior linebacker Matt Scalice, the Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week, made 10 tackles – including two for loss – to lead the Bombers. Sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble, senior linebacker Craig Liebler and freshman corner-back Spencer White each made six. Senior linebacker John Scanlon was also in on a pair of tackles for loss.

Spfld (2-6, 0-4) 0 0 8 0 — 8Ithaca (7-1, 4-1) 13 10 7 7 — 37ITHACA, N.Y.— Junior running back Thomas Bergerstock ran for 175 yards and four touchdowns as the #21 Bombers closed out an undefeated regular season at home, beating the visiting Pride 37-8.

Bergerstock raised his season totals to 20 touchdowns and 120 points, breaking school records in both categories. Jeff Wittman’s totals of 19 touchdowns and 114 points had stood since 1992.

Bergerstock went over 100 yards in the first quarter, cap-ping Ithaca’s first two drives with touchdown runs of 45 and nine yards. He added 14-yard score in the second quarter and tallied the game’s final touchdown in the fourth quarter, scor-ing on a two-yard run.

The Bomber defense held Springfield to 166 rushing yards and eight points. The Pride came in averaging 28 points and 249 rushing yards per game and converted just four-of-17 attempts on third and fourth down.

Senior linebacker Matt Scalice led Ithaca with a game-best 11 tackles. Senior linebacker John Scanlon added nine. Both were in on two of Ithaca’s season-high 15 tackles for loss. Senior cornerback Jason Chier made six tackles and intercepted a pass. Sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble was in on a career-high three tackles for loss.

#17 ITHACA 35, #7 Cortland 13Ithaca (9-1) 7 7 7 14 — 35Cortland (9-1) 0 10 3 0 — 13Cortland, N.Y.— The #17 Bombers beat previously unbeaten Cortland 35-13 in front of 10,300 fans at the 50th annual Cortaca Jug game; in conjunction with the game, the Red Dragons had honored their 1988 team which had been the program’s only team to post an undefeated regular season (the Bombers beat Cortland in the NCAA East Region final on their way to the national championship).

Junior quarterback Brian Grastorf threw for three touch-downs and rushed for two more in his first career start and senior cornerback Jason Chier tied a school record with three interceptions.

Grastorf, the first Bomber quarterback to make his first career start in the Cortaca Jug game, completed 19-of-28 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for two one-yard scores; all four figures were career bests. Senior Kyle Crandall caught four catches for a game-high 114 yards and two scores and junior Dan Ruggiero came off the bench to rush for 96 yards – the highest total surrendered all year by the Red Dragons – and catch a touchdown pass.

Chier finished with seven tackles and two pass breakups along with his three interceptions. Two of his pickoffs came in the end zone and the other was at his own two; one of his pass break-ups came in the end zone as well.

Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen made nine tackles intercepted a pass in the end zone on Cortland’s final play from scrimmage. Sophomore linebacker Morgan Abdelnour added a career-high nine tackles. Senior linebacker Matt Scalice added eight tackles and raised his career total to 261, good for 11th on the program’s all-time list.

Crandall caught a 14-yard pass from Grastorf with 9:44 left in the first quarter to give Ithaca a 7-0 lead. Crandall turned a short crossing pass from Grastorf into an 80-yard touchdown with 1:26 left in the half and a 32-yard screen pass to Ruggiero for a touchdown created a 21-13 Bomber lead.

Grastorf capped the scoring with a pair of on-year touch-down runs – the first two of his career – in the fourth quarter. The second was set up when sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble forced a fumble on a sack that senior defensive tackle John Cirba recovered.

Ruggiero entered in the second quarter to record a career-high 192 rushing yards and four scores. Grastorf came in with 5:30 left in the half and led five scoring drives in his first six possessions, helping Ithaca score 30 points – erasing a 21-13 Alfred lead – before Ithaca stopped Alfred twice on fourth down in the final 2:09.

Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen broke up a fourth-down pass with 2:09 left to thwart one drive. On the Saxons’ final possession, they drove to the Ithaca one, but threw three incomplete passes – one was broken up by senior cornerback Jason Chier in the end zone.

The Bombers took the lead for good on the final play of the first half. Freshman Andrew Rogowski kicked a career-long 26-yard field goal after sophomore defensive end Matt Dibble set up the score by intercepting a screen pass and running it back 43 yards to the Alfred 11.

Grastorf completed nine of 16 passes for 161 yards against the nation’s sixth-ranked pass defense and threw a 76-yard touchdown pass to senior wideout Kyle Crandall, who led Ithaca with 115 yards on three catches.

Ithaca’s offensive line turned in its strongest performance of the yearby posting its fourth sack-free performance in the last five games.

NCAA First-Round Playoff GameCurry (10-1) 6 0 12 8 — 26Ithaca (9-2) 7 7 7 0 — 21 ITHACA, N.Y.— The seventh-seeded Curry Colonels scored the game-winning touchdown with 32 seconds left in a 26-21 win over the second-seeded Bombers in the NCAA playoffs.

The Bombers took over on their own 39 with 30 seconds left. Following a 20-yard pass from junior quarterback Brian Grastorf to senior wide receiver Kyle Crandall on Ithaca’s first play and a pass interference penalty on Curry that moved the ball to the Colonel 25, the Bombers threw three incomplete passes to end the game.

Ithaca had taken its final lead late in the third quarter on a touchdown set up by a blocked punt. Senior Matt Samela blocked a Curry punt that senior teammate Craig Liebler recov-ered on the Colonel 14. Two plays later Crandall caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Grastorf.

A pair of Ithaca touchdowns put the Bombers up 14-6 after the Colonels had scored on their first dive of the game. Grastorf threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Brian Weverbergh midway through the first quarter and the first of three extra points by freshman Andrew Rogowski gave the Bombers their first lead.

Late in the second quarter senior linebacker Matt Scalice recovered a fumble on a Colonel punt return on the Curry 18-yard line. Five plays later, sophomore Dan Ruggiero scored on a five-yard run.

Ruggiero gained a game-high 138 rushing yards on a Bomber playoff-record 33 carries. Crandall was Ithaca’s lead-ing receiver with three catches for 52 yards; his career average of 21.5 yards per reception is second all-time at Ithaca.

Weverbergh caught three passes and broke his own year-old school record for tight ends, finishing with 50 catches.

Senior linebacker John Scanlon led Ithaca’s defense with 10 tackles. Sophomore strong safety David Ahonen made nine tackles (including six solo stops), blocked the extra point attempt after the Colonels’ second touchdown and broke up the conversion pass following their third attempt.

Senior cornerback Jason Chier intercepted his school-record tying eighth pass of the year, blocked an extra point, tackled Curry’s holder on an aborted field goal attempt and blocked a Colonel field goal attempt on the final play of the first half.
