MEN’S SOCCER 2007
HEAD COACH MIKE DREVES

COACHING STAFF
Mike Dreves is in his second season as Grove City College’s head men’s
soccer coach. In his first season as head coach, Dreves directed the Wolverines
to an 11-7-2 overall record, including a 4-2 mark in Presidents’ Athletic Conference play.
Grove City advanced to the Eastern College Athletic Conference Southern
Championship Tournament semifinals in 2006 after upsetting top-seeded
Swarthmore in the quarterfinals.
A 1997 Grove City College graduate, Dreves took over as head coach in June
2006 after serving as an assistant coach for five seasons under retired head
coach Dr. Don Lyle. As an assistant coach, he helped the Wolverines post four
winning seasons, an average of 11 wins per season and two postseason berths.
In 2005, Grove City captured its first-ever Presidents’ Athletic Conference
Championship Tournament title with a 2-1 victory over top-seeded Washington
& Jefferson Nov. 5.
The Wolverines advanced to the Eastern College Athletic Conference Southern Championship Tournament finals and finished 2005 with a 13-6-5 record.
Dreves earned four letters as a player at Grove City from 1993-96. He was a two-year team captain and
helped lead the Wolverines to the 1996 PAC and ECAC titles. The 1996 team earned the program’s first PAC
title and also posted a program-record 16 victories.
Dreves’ coaching career began at the scholastic level. He guided the Titusville (Pa.) High School boys’
soccer program from 1997-2000, directing the Rockets to 39 wins and one Tri-County Athletic Conference
championship (1998) in four seasons.
He then joined the Grove City coaching staff prior to the start of the 2001 season and helped the
Wolverines reach the ECAC
Tournament twice.
Dreves graduated from
Grove City in May 1997 with a
bachelor’s degree in mathematics/secondary education.
He then earned his
master’s degree in exercise
science at nearby Slippery
Rock University.
He taught mathematics at
both Titusville (1997-2001)
and Mercer (2001-06) High
Schools before coming to the
College.
Dreves joined the Grove
City athletic department on a
full-time basis in June 2006 as
an assistant professor of
physical education and as Fitness Room Coordinator.
Dreves lives in Pine Township with his wife Sue (also a
1997 Grove City graduate) and
their two sons, Joshua and Mike Dreves is in his second year as Grove City’s men’s soccer coach. In
2006, he directed the Wolverines to an 11-7-2 overall record.

2007 SEASON PREVIEW
SEASON PREVIEW
Wolverines Counting On Veterans, Youth In Quest For PAC Crown
There are two construction projects related
to the men’s soccer program at Grove City College as the 2007 season approaches. One is a
major renovation. The other is more along the lines
of a remodeling project.
Fortunately for the Wolverines, it is their home
field -- College Field -- that is undergoing the major
renovations. While College Field will now feature a
new press box and scoreboard in 2007, the team
that calls the facility home will also have a different
look this fall.
Grove City must replace five starters from last
year’s 11-win team that advanced to the ECAC
Southern Championship Tournament semifinals.
Among the graduated are the program’s alltime leading scorer (Bob McNees), two four-year
starters at defender (Brendan McCommas and
Stuart McCommas), a pair of veteran midfielders
(Jonathan Breese and Jonathan Mahtani) and the
College’s 2007 Senior Man of the Year, Ian
Lamborn.
Junior defender Jack Adams helped Grove City
post nine shutouts during the 2006 season.
Adams is a returning All-PAC selection.
However, the Wolverines are still well-stocked
as they prepare to challenge for the Presidents’
Athletic Conference championship and a berth in
the postseason.
Second-year head coach Mike Dreves welcomes back 10 lettermen in 2007, including six fulltime starters.
Three of those starters helped form the core
of one of the region’s top defenses. Senior stopper Tommy Bresson enters his fourth year as a
starter while senior goalkeeper Michael Manahan
is a two-year starter. Junior sweeper Jack Adams
is a two-year letterwinner who started 19 of 20
matches last year.
In his three years as a starter, Bresson has
helped Grove City post 30 shutouts and an aggregate 0.89 goals-against average. He earned Second Team All-PAC honors in 2006.
Manahan is a two-time Second Team All-PAC
selection in goal for Grove City. He led the conference in save percentage in both 2005 and 2006.
Adams also landed on the conference’s Second Team following the 2006 season.
Senior Tommy Bresson has started 64 consecutive matches since arriving at Grove City in
2004. He earned Second Team All-PAC last year.

MEN’S SOCCER 2007
2007 SEASON PREVIEW
Grove City Seeks 5th Straight Winning Season, Return to Postseason
Senior midfielder Barry Snyder started all 20
matches for Grove City in 2006.
Grove City also welcomes back senior defender
Dustin Heath, who earned his first letter in 2006.
Heath made five starts at outside back, helping the
Wolverines to a 4-1 record in those five matches.
Senior midfielders Chad Ashby and Barry Snyder
return after strong junior seasons. Ashby led the
team with five assists from his wing position while
Snyder started all 20 matches.
Junior Matt Sol made 13 starts during the 2006
season, including all three postseason matches.
Junior forward Tyler Ferrier appeared in all 20
matches as a reserve last season and provided instant offense for the Wolverines. Ferrier finished
second on the team in goals (4), assists (3) and
total points (11). He will again be counted on for
offensive production this season.
Senior Eli Lamborn has made nine career starts
and is a three-year letterman. He will contend for a
full-time starting spot this season.
Junior defender Bob Terhune missed much of
2006 due to an injury. He played in 12 matches at
Senior goalkeeper Michael Manahan earned AllPAC Second Team in 2005 and 2006.

stopper as a freshman and will be an integral part
of the Grove City defense again in 2007.
Several other veterans are also expected to
challenge for playing time this fall. Junior forward
Andrew Yackel will challenge for a spot up front
while junior Ben Kristobak is in the mix at defender.
A number of sophomores are back after seeing spot duty as freshmen. Defenders Scott
Degelman, Sean Osborne and Mike Soriano return,
as do midfielders Ryan Lesser and Joel Metz. Lesser
had two assists in 2006 while Metz scored twice
in limited action.
Sophomore Tim Lansing is Manahan’s backup
in goal. Lansing did not allow a goal in his two
appearances last year.
Grove City will open the 2007 season August
31 against visiting Penn State Altoona. Presidents’
Athletic Conference play begins Sept. 29 at
Bethany.
The non-conference schedule features a trip
to Grantham, Pa. for the Messiah College Classic
Sept. 7-8. The Wolverines will face Goucher and
national power Messiah during the two-day event.
Grove City will also play Baldwin-Wallace,
Carnegie Mellon and Lake Erie in preparation for
the conference schedule.

THE PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence.
Comprised of 10 select private colleges Bethany College, Chatham College, Geneva College,
Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington &
Jefferson College, Waynesburg College and
Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique
organization in this day of high-pressure intercollegiate athletics.
With academics at the center of each member’s
philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that
an athletic program is a part of college life, but not
an entity in itself.
During the 2005-06 academic year, Chatham
College, Geneva College and Saint Vincent College
all joined the PAC. Chatham will compete for PAC
championships for the first time during the 2007-

2006 IN REVIEW
2006 IN REVIEW
Grove City Advances To ECAC Southern Tournament Semifinals
Calendar years ending in the number six have
been traditionally bountiful for the Grove City College men’s soccer program. Grove City’s 1956
squad went 7-0-0 while the 1966 team posted a 71-1 record.
Grove City celebrated the nation’s bicentennial in 1976 by advancing to the NCAA Division III
national quarterfinals with a 10-3-1 mark. The 1986
team went 11-2-1 while the 1996 team won the
ECAC Southern Championship with a 16-2 record.
That history of excellence continued in 2006
as Grove City recorded an 11-win season and advanced to the semifinal round of the ECAC Southern Championship Tournament.
Under first-year head coach Mike Dreves, the
Wolverines opened 2006 with seven consecutive
home matches. Following a season-opening setback against Medaille Sept. 1, the Wolverines
notched three straight victories at College Field.
Senior Bob McNees became Grove City’s alltime leading goal-scorer Sept. 2 in a 3-0 victory
over visiting Pitt-Bradford. McNees scored all three
Grove City goals on second-half penalty kicks in
becoming the program’s most prolific scorer.
McNees’ three goals in the win gave him 49
career goals, surpassing the long-standing mark
of 48, set by Ross Emerson in the mid-1950s.
The victory over Pitt-Bradford also represented
Dreves’ first victory as head coach. It was also the
Wolverines’ 50th shutout this decade.
Grove City’s defense continued to shine over
the next seven days as the Wolverines earned a
pair of shutout victories.
An overtime goal by McNees in the 98th minute
Sept. 6 lifted Grove City to a 1-0 home win over La
Roche in non-conference action. Senior Ian
Lamborn assisted on the game-winner while in goal,
Manahan stopped 10 La Roche shots.
Three days later, the Wolverines’ win streak
reached three as Grove City blanked Waynesburg,
2-0. McNees scored a pair of unassisted goals while
the Grove City defense limited Waynesburg to just
one second-half shot and no corner kicks.
Longtime non-conference rival Carnegie Mellon
ended Grove CIty’s win streak Sept. 12 by pulling
out a 2-0 victory at College Field.
Grove City concluded the lengthy homestand
by splitting back-to-back non-conference matches.
Grove City improved to 4-2 Sept. 16 with a 2-0
victory over Geneva. The homestand ended on a
down note, though, as Penn State Behrend picked
up a 2-0 victory at Grove City Sept. 20.
Following a 10-day layoff that included a
weather postponement, Grove City raised its over-
all record to 6-3-1 by going undefeated in its first
three road matches.
Senior defender Brendan McCommas and
Lamborn both scored their first goal of the season in a 2-1 victory at Thomas More Sept. 30.
McCommas scored in the fifth minute off Chad
Ashby’s corner kick while Lamborn’s first career
goal at 61:36 gave Grove City a 2-0 lead.
Three nights later, the Wolverines battled host
Washington & Jefferson to a scoreless draw.
Manahan preserved Grove City’s fifth shutout of
the season by making five saves. Defensively,
Grove City limited W&J to just seven total shots.
Grove City opened conference play Oct. 7 with
a 4-0 triumph over Waynesburg. The Wolverines
broke the match open with three second-half goals.
McNees scored twice while senior midfielder
Jonathan Breese and freshman Joel Metz also
scored. McNees earned his third PAC Offensive
Player of the Week award while Manahan earned
the conference’s Goalkeeper/Defensive Player of
the Week award Oct. 8.
Bob McNees earned PAC Player of the Year
honors in both 2005 and 2006. He graduated as
Grove City’s all-time leading scorer with 63
goals.

MEN’S SOCCER 2007
2006 IN REVIEW
Wolverines Record 4th Straight Winning Season, Post 9 Shutouts
1-0 lead. Ferrier assisted goals by sophomore Matt
Sol and McNees while an “own goal” capped the
scoring.
Grove City’s bid for a second straight league
crown ended in the PAC semifinals, however, as
Westminster eliminated the Wolverines, 3-0.
Still, Grove City’s 11-6-1 overall record earned
the team an invitation to the ECAC Southern Championship Tournament. The Wolverines earned the
No. 8 seed in the tournament and faced top-seeded
Swarthmore in the quarterfinals Nov. 8.
Grove City fell behind in the fifth minute but
tied the match at 26:19 as Ferrier scored off a
Breese assist. Defensively, the Wolverines blanked
Swarthmore through two overtime periods, sending the match into a shootout.
In the shootout, McNees, Ferrier and Brendan
McCommas all scored, giving Grove City a 3-1 lead.
Manahan stopped Swarthmore’s fourth shootout
attempt, sending the Wolverines to the semifinals.
Three days later at Carnegie Mellon, fifth-seeded
Gettysburg scored twice in the second half on its
way to a 2-0 semifinal-round win over Grove City.
McNees earned PAC Player of the Year honors
for the second consecutive season. Both Breese
and McNees earned First Team All-PAC honors.
Jack Adams, Tommy Bresson, Manahan and
Brendan McCommas earned Second Team All-Conference status.

2006 IN REVIEW
Hard-fought 1-0 losses to Westminster (Oct.
11) and Bethany (Oct. 13) bumped the Wolverines
out of first place. The setback against Bethany ultimately proved to be Grove City’s final loss of the
regular season.

ignited a season-ending five-match win streak.
McNees posted two goals and an assist at Saint
Vincent while Ashby added a goal and an assist.
Ferrier scored off junior Barry Snyder’s assist.
Three days later, Ferrier broke a scoreless tie
in the 56th minute as Grove City rolled to a 2-0
victory over visiting Washington & Jefferson.
Mahtani sealed the win with a goal at 72:53 while
the defense posted its seventh shutout of 2006.
Grove City improved to 3-2 in the PAC by scoring a season-high six goals Oct. 24 en route to a
6-0 home win over Thiel. McNees notched a hat
trick while Metz, Snyder and Ben Kristobak all
scored once.
The Wolverines extended the win streak to four
Oct. 26 by pulling out a 2-1 overtime victory at
Lake Erie. Ferrier tied the match with a goal in the
32nd minute while McNees scored the game winner 6:28 into the first overtime.
Grove City then wrapped up the regular season with a 4-0 win over Thomas More on Senior
Day Oct. 28. Ian Lamborn assisted a goal by younger
brother Eli in the 25th minute as Grove City took a

GROVE CITY COLLEGE
ABOUT GROVE CITY COLLEGE
ABOUT
The beautifully landscaped
campus of Grove City College
stretches over 150 acres and includes 27 neo-Gothic buildings.
It is considered one of the loveliest in the nation.
While the College has
changed to meet the needs of
the society it serves, its basic philosophy has remained unchanged since its founding in
1876. It is a Christian, liberal arts
institution, dedicated to the principle of providing the highest
quality education at the lowest
possible cost.
Wishing to remain truly independent and to retain its distinctive qualities as a private school
governed by private citizens
(trustees), it is one of few colleges in the country that does
not accept federal funds.
Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), but not narrowly denominational, the College believes that to be well-educated a student should be exposed to the central ideas of the
Judeo-Christian tradition.
Grove City College offers undergraduate degrees in liberal
arts, sciences, engineering, business, and music and is distinguished as a national leader in
education.
Grove City’s programs in
electrical and mechanical engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission Board of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology.
The “big business school curriculum” prepares students for
today’s global business reality.
An extensive variety of internship
opportunities are provided
across the curriculum.
Grove City College wants its
students to be prepared in this
age of mobile information technology. Each entering freshman
receives a notebook computer
which is his or hers to keep upon
graduation with a four-year degree.
THE
COLLEGE
PROGRAMS AND MAJORS
Grove City College’s
Breen Student Union
This is part of the Information
Technology Initiative, a total program integrating technology
across the curriculum.
The College believes that its
student body has a unique mix
of talents and abilities. Its Career
Services program helps students
identify those key assets during
the first year and then builds a
four-year strategy to help them
pursue a satisfying career.
Personal counseling, professional speakers, databases,
alumni contacts, summer internships, corporate visits, employer
presentations and more are incorporated into the career preparation experience. Grove City follows the semester calendar plan,
in addition to offering two-week
sessions in January and May.
Most of the 2,500 students
live in separate men’s and
women’s dormitories. The rest
are local commuters or married
students. A full program of cultural, professional, athletic and
social activities is offered, including 19 intercollegiate varsity athletic teams.
Grove City, a town of 8,100
people, is located 60 miles north
of Pittsburgh. It is located near
Interstates 79 and 80 and has a
municipal airport.

All 19 of Grove City College’s intercollegiate varsity athletic teams utilize the College’s
superior facilities for competition, practices and
off-season training and conditioning.
Grove City’s athletic facilities have undergone numerous renovations and improvements in recent years, with more upgrades
scheduled in the immediate future.
On lower campus, Robert E. Thorn Field is
home to the College’s football and track and
field teams. During the summer of 2006, the
College installed CSTurf at Robert E. Thorn
Field. CSTurf is a synthetic playing surface that
features polyethylene LSR grass fibers and a
rubber infill system.
Lights were also added at Robert E. Thorn
Field while the 8-lane track around the field was
resurfaced.
These upgrades benefit the entire campus
community as the complex will now be used
by both the College’s club sports teams and
its intramural program, along with the varsity
teams.
The track is also available for use by recreational walkers and joggers. The complex also
features 10 all-weather tennis courts next to
the stadium.
Phillips Field House, located at the north
end of the complex, features several locker
rooms, an athletic training room, meeting
rooms and coaches’ offices. It is used by the
football, track and tennis programs throughout the academic year. Several upgrades to the
facility were recently made.
The Physical Learning Center (PLC) houses
the Grove City College Arena, home to the
College’s basketball and volleyball programs.
The 1,800-seat Arena recently received new
scoreboards, new scorer’s tables and new
shotclocks.
Grove City College installed CSTurf, lights
and new track and field competition areas
at Robert E. Thorn Field in summer 2006.
The Grove City College Pool is one of the
nation’s premier small-college venues for
both swimming and diving and water polo.

Water Polo Association Western Division Championships.
The PLC also features a second pool, the
Recreational Pool, which is used by members
of the College community year-round.
A fitness room featuring aerobic, Cybex and
free weight equipment is an integral part of the
PLC. Expansion of the fitness room is a keystone of the Center’s ongoing renovations.
The PLC also features six racquetball/handball courts as well as two adjacent intramural
rooms. The intramural rooms each feature four
basketball courts, four indoor tennis courts,
four volleyball courts, an indoor track and two
indoor jumping pits.
New synthetic floors were installed in the
intramural rooms in summer 2006.
The building houses an athletic training
room, locker rooms and offices for coaches
and physical education faculty. In 2004, the College constructed a new office suite for coaches
and athletic administration.
Grove City’s outdoor athletic facilities have
also received numerous upgrades in recent
years.The varsity soccer field, College Field, was
expanded and re-sodded during the summer
of 2005. College Field also received a new
press box during the summer of 2007.
Meanwhile, Grove City’s baseball and softball facilities received major facelifts in 2007
with new fencing and electronic scoreboards
scheduled to be installed for the 2007-08 academic year.
