Christopher Newport Football
Head Coach Matt Kelchner
Seven years, five conference championships and five NCAA
Division III Playoff appearances. That is what Matt Kelchner has
accomplished in his first seven seasons as head football coach
at Christopher Newport.
Kelchner has made it happen at Christopher Newport, starting
the program from scratch and building it into a national power in
a very short time.
His Captains had their most successful season in 2004 with
a 9-3 record, the first NCAA playoff road victory and a national
ranking that reached as high as No. 11.
No other school in NCAA history had ever earned a spot in the
playoffs in its first four seasons of existence.
In his first season as a head coach at Christopher Newport, the
former long-time William & Mary assistant coach had a season
that many of his contemporaries would enjoy in the middle of
their careers.
After spending a year putting all the pieces together as CNU
prepared to launch its football program, Kelchner saw his labors
bear fruit very quickly. After three losses to open the season, his
Captains won their next five straight, including a victory over Dixie Conference pre-season favorite Ferrum in the Oyster Bowl in
Hampton, Va. That win earned CNU the conference’s automatic
NCAA Playoff berth and a share of the first Dixie championship in
history. The league, as well as CNU, was in its first season.
September 1, 2001 had to be one of the greatest days in Kelchner’s career. After spending a year tending to all the details it
takes to begin a football program, and then going through several
weeks of pre-season practice with 100 new faces, Kelchner got
to watch his team race onto the field in front of 6,135 fans who
had crammed into the brand new, 3,100 seat CNU Stadium.
Although CNU lost to Salisbury on opening day, it did little to
dampen the enthusiasm for Captain football. An average of 4,630
fans attended each of CNU’s four home games, the ninth best
figure in Division III.
The year was topped by the Captains’ appearance in the NCAA
Division III Playoffs, the first time a first-year team had ever
reached NCAA play.
The second year was even better.
CNU won its first non-conference game by defeating RandolphMacon, 21-19, in the second game of the year and then went on
to capture a share of the Dixie title yet again on the last weekend
of the regular season. A rematch of the 2001 Oyster Bowl found
Ferrum this time at POMOCO Stadium with the NCAA berth at
stake. The Captains completely dominated the Panthers, winning
35-7, to set up another NCAA trip.
This time the Captains were more prepared to meet a nationally-ranked opponent. In 2001 CNU entered the playoffs awestruck in their first season of football and were taken out easily by
Widener, 56-7. In 2002 Christopher Newport had already faced

three other nationally-ranked opponents and fared well against all
of them.
In the playoffs the Captains battled 24th-ranked Washington &
Jefferson right into the start of the fourth quarter, trailing only 1710, until the Profs added a touchdown with 12 minutes left to play
for a 24-10 win.
CNU had been well prepared to meet quality opponents through
its non-conference schedule. The Captains took an early lead
against No. 3 Rowan, and trailed just 14-7 at halftime, until making a few key errors in the third quarter that led to a 34-7 defeat.
Against No. 2 Bridgewater CNU was down just 7-0 at the half
before falling 25-6 and in the season opener, playing a Salisbury
team that would eventually reach No. 14, it took a fourth quarter
TD for the Sea Gulls to scratch out a 20-13 victory.
In 2003 the the accomplishments got even better.
First, CNU scored its initial major victory with a 7-6 win on the
road at McDaniel, a Top 20 program in 2002. Then, in its next
game, Christopher Newport stunned fifth-ranked Bridgewater,
16-12, in POMOCO Stadium for the program’s first win over a currently nationally-ranked opponent.
After finishing the regular season 7-2 CNU was awarded a home
NCAA playoff game against Muhlenberg which the Captains won,
24-20.
Then, in 2004, the Captains produced their best record ever at
9-3. Included was a win over nationally-ranked Bridgewater in
the Oyster Bowl, 21-16, giving CNU its second win in two tries in
the charity classic. Then, after receiving an at-large berth in the
NCAA playoffs, CNU captured its first-ever NCAA playoff road victory with a 35-24 win over previously unbeaten, and number five
ranked Salisbury.
After missing the playoffs for the only time in 2005, the Captains
returned in 2006 after capturing their fifth USA South title.
CNU went 8-2 in the regular season, including a 15-10 win over

Crush joins the CNU football
coaching staff for his second
year as a student coach after
playing part of a season for
the Captains before an illness
cut short his career. He also
played at the University of
Richmond before transferring to CNU. He’s a native
of Roanoke, Va., where he
was an all-region player at
Glenvar H.S.
A 1999 graduate of James
Madison University, where
he was an all-conference
defensive lineman. Served as
an assistant coach at Bethel
High School in Hampton, his
high school alma mater. Was a
member of the Norfolk Nighthawks Arena Football League
2 team. In his seventh season
with the Captains.
Quite possibly CNU’s top
quarterback ever, Todd Faison
joins the coaching staff as
a student coach after setting many of CNU’s passing
records. Among the marks he
set were for the best passing
completion percentage in a single game (.929), season (.612)
and career (.596). He also set
new marks for passing yards
in a game (331) and a season
(1995) as well as touchdowns
in a game (5).
The first All-American in
Christopher Newport history joins the CNU coaching
staff for his fourth season in
2008. Fitzgerald was named
first team All-American by the
American Football Coaches
Association (AFCA) in 2004
on the offensive line. He was
a four-year starter at center for
CNU and was the long snapper
on almost every play for four
years. He earned first team
All-USA South honors for three
years and second team once.

Christopher Newport Football
The success of the Christopher
Newport University football program
continued in 2007, and the Captains
are setting their sights on 2008. Matt
Kelchner’s program has produced
seven straight winning seasons, a
string the head coach intends to
continue.
“We’ve accomplished a lot, but
there’s always more work to do,”
Kelchner said as training camp got
started in August. “Our goals and
expectations continue to rise, and
you have to do more and more to
reach them. We’re going to work
very hard again this year to get
there.”
The accomplishments of the CNU
football program speak for themselves: five conference co-championships, five NCAA Tournament
appearances, a 49-25 overall record
in seven seasons since the inception of the football program, and a
37-8 mark in USA South Conference
games..
CNU’s squad in 2008 will be an
interesting mix of veterans and
newcomers. 116 players reported
on August 13th, almost sixty who
are returning to the team and almost
sixty newcomers.
“Looking at our roster at the
beginning of camp, we can find
experience at every position on the
field except quarterback,” Kelchner
continued. “That’s a lot more experience than we had last year across
the board. There will be some great
competition during August for playing time and I know right now we’ll
have a real battle for the quarterback spot during our camp.”
Kelchner, who will work personally
with the quarterbacks, had 11 players trying out for the job as camp
began. The only returning player in
the mix happens to be a two-time all
conference defensive player, Matt
Long.
“Matt showed us a lot during
spring workouts,” Kelchner said.
“He knows the system and played
quarterback in high school. We’ve
got some guys who can take his
spot on defense, so Matt is certainly
an option.”
The 2008 Captains will likely be
strongest in the backfield on offense. Kelchner expects to have
three backs returning who have
seen signifigant playing time (Tunde
14
Pre-Season Preview
Ogun, Mario Barnes and Mike
Thomas).
On the defensive side, CNU’s
strength will be on the line. Those
returning include eight defensive
linemen with plenty of game experience. The group includes Nathan
Williams and DeShaun Parker.
On special teams, kicker Jay Graham was an all conference selection
last year, and will likely take over
punting duties as well in 2008.
Christopher Newport will again
play a formidable non-conference
schedule. The Captains have added
Wesley and Wilkes for 2008, and
will also tangle with Salisbury once
again.
“They’re three very good programs,” Kelchner said. “We always
want to play the best that’s out there
and we’ll again get a good idea very
early just how good we are.”
The Captains, coming off a 7-3
season in 2007, finished 6-1 in the
USA South behind only North Carolina Wesleyan.. CNU will open USA
South play in 2008 at Shenandoah
on the first Saturday of October.
“The league continues to improve,”
Kelchner continued. “I think just
about every coach has improved
their non-conference schedule. I really believe you could see more than
one team in the NCAA Tournament
come November.”
Here is a position-by-position preview of the 2008 Captains:
OFFENSE
Quarterback: Again, the biggest
question mark. Matt Long, a junior
who hasn’t played offense since
high school, impressed the coaching
staff during spring workouts. Long
has been a standout defensive back
the last two years at CNU. He will
see stiff competition for the job from
many newcomers.
Backfield: An abundance of options. Tunde Ogun and Mike Thomas
both put up great numbers in 2007,
and could again prove to be a
formidable duo. The fullbacks also
have plenty of experience with Mario
Barnes and Jake Preli back for 2008.
By far the most experienced area of
the program.
Receivers: CNU returns only two
players with significant playing time.
Christopher Newport Football - NCAA Playoffs 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006
WR Tony Spradlin, who also returns
kicks, and tight end Adam Gooch will
be joined by several new faces to
form the receiving corps. Whoever
emerges at quarterback will have
many new faces competing for balls
thrown their way.
Offensive Line: Starters Paul Crowley and Nick Leonard return to anchor the line. Several others returning have game experience and will
challenge for the three other spots.
With a stable of solid running backs,
it’s imperative the offensive line gel
early in 2008 to establish a strong
running attack and take pressure off
an inexperienced passing game.
DEFENSE
Defensive Line: Another very strong
area for the Captains. CNU has numerous returning linemen for 2008,
and will likely be very strong up front.
DeShaun Parker, Nathan Williams,
and Trevor Wagner lead the cast of
strong and fast returning players.
Linebackers: Christopher Newport
will also have plenty of options in
the linebacking corps. Jay Kirland,
Bryan Vaughan, and Adrin Diggs are
returning starters from 2007, and
have excelled in game situations.
Secondary: Most likely the area of
greatest concern on the defensive
side. With Matt Long focusing on
playing quarterback, CNU will rely on
some newcomers to step forward.
Randall Bronte-Tinkew emerged in
2007 and was starting by the end
of the season. He will be joined by
several returners who saw limited
time in 2007. They will need to step
into larger roles quickly to complete
the defense.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Captains have Jay Graham
back to continue as kicker. Graham
has been very reliable and will likely
take on punting duties in 2008.
Tony Spradlin will likely again return punts after assuming that role
in 2007, and Dominik Taylor also
returns to bring back kicks.
OVERVIEW
Christopher Newport heads into
2008 with several question marks,
but also a solid group of returning
Captains 2008
Pre-Season Preview
players. The always-tough early season schedule will not be very forgiving, and Matt Kelchner’s squad will
need to come together early.
The defense figures to be steady,
while the offense will need to mature
quickly on the line and at quarterback if the Captains are to continue
their great success.
CNU Picked to Win
in USA South
2008
SEASON
Following a year in which, for the second time
in six seasons, Christopher Newport was not
picked to win the USA South championship
in the annual poll of conference coaches, the
Captains are back on top.
The poll, released at the league’s annual
media day, has CNU getting five of a possible
seven first place votes.

Review of 2007
THREE NAMED All-SOUTH
REGION
The all-South Region team, as chosen
by d3football.com, had three CNU players
honored.
Wide receiver Jesse Bradshaw, who set a
school record in his freshman season with 64
receptions, was named to the third team.
Meanwhile, CNU’s outstanding kicking
team produced two all-South performers.
Junior punter Matt Barcus was chosen to
the second team after averaging 42.8 yards
on 40 punts, while junior place kicker Jay
Graham was a third team selection. He
nailed eight of nine field goal attempts and
34 of 35 PATs.
ALL-STATE
The Virginia Sports Information Directors
Association annually names a Division
II-III all-state team, and CNU was well
represented.
CNU took home seven spots on the two
squads.
Sophomore defensive back Matt Long was
a first team selection on defense, while junior
punter Matt Barcus and junior place kicker
Jay Graham were both tabbed as first team
specialists.
Freshman wide receiver Jesse Bradshaw
and senior offensive linemen Cory Webster
and Cliff Weddle both earned second team
honors on offense, and junior Trevor Wagner
was placed on the second team defense as
a lineman.
USA SOUTH RECOGNIZES

Defensively, lineman DeShaun Parker and
back Matt Long were first team choices,

punter Matt Barcus were also both first
team selections, while Diggs was named
Defensive Rookie of the Year.
RECORD BREAKERS
The record book took a big hit in 2007.
A total of 47 records were either set or
tied during the Captains’ seventh year of
football.
Senior quarterback Todd Faison was
responsible for seven new marks including
best pass completion percentage in a game
(.929, 13-14 against Shenandoah), season
(.612) and career (.595). He also set marks
for most yards passing in a game (331 versus
Greensboro) and season (1995) as well as
touchdown passes in a game (five against
Greensboro) and total offense (350 yards in
the Greensboro game).
Running back Mike Thomas picked up
239 yards in the Methodist game for a new
mark.
In the kicking game, punter Matt Barcus
set records for average in a game (50.5),
season (42.8) and career, while place kicker
Jay Graham was responsible for 12 new
standards. Among them were the longest
field goal in CNU history, a 46-yarder, most

The USA South Athletic Conference might be one of the newest
names in Division III athletics, but that doesn’t mean the 11-team
conference is new on the scene. One of the oldest Division III
conferences in the nation, the USA South was born as the Dixie
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions
with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as
founding members. Those colleges were: Charlotte College (now
UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College
(now Methodist University), North Carolina Wesleyan College,
St. Andrews Presbyterian College, and Lynchburg College. The
basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would
be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded financial aid
or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still
exists today.
In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Conference. The name change was made official on July 1,
2003 and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships
were awarded in the fall of that year.
The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that
affiliation until 1973. At that time the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with Division III allowing membership for non-athletic scholarship institutions only. The Dixie joined
the NCAA, and in so doing, became one of the first conferences
accepted into Division III. Since the inception of Division III, the
USA South has been a leader in many areas, and has gained
an outstanding regional and national reputation in a number of
sports.
The Conference sponsored athletic programs for men only until
1981. In that year, the NCAA expanded its sponsorship to include
women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including
women’s sports. The Conference now sponsors championships
in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball,
baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, golf and women’s
lacrosse for a total of 14 sports.
Each year the Conference not only recognizes the participants
for outstanding athletic achievements, but academic excellence
as well. Student athletes who maintain academic averages of 3.0
or better on a 4.0 scale in both academic semesters are named to
the Academic All-Conference team. This group annually averages
well over 500 students.
Each year, the President’s Cup is awarded to the school that
accumulates the most points throughout the academic year in
sports that are sponsored by the USA South. Points are awarded
on a scale from 1-8 with each regular season conference champion receiving one point for every school sponsoring that sport. In
2004-05, the President’s Cup was changed to have one winner for
men’s sports and one winner for women’s. After a one-year hiatus,
an overall men’s and women’s award returned. Christopher Newport won this overall award since.
Presently, the Conference features 11 institutions, five in Virginia,
five in North Carolina and one in Tennessee. The Tennessee
institution, Maryville College, became a competing member of the
Conference in the fall of 2005 as a football only member. Averett University, Christopher Newport University, Ferrum College,
Greensboro College, Mary Baldwin College, Meredith College,
Peace College and Shenandoah University have joined Methodist
and N.C. Wesleyan to make up today’s Conference membership.

Newport became the first
team ever to appear in an

faced a powerful Widener

Widener took control
from the very start, scoring on the second play
from scrimmage, and
went on to a 56-7 victory,
but the learning experience was invaluable to the Captains.
Kevah Conaway got the first NCAA touchown in CNU history
with a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Newport News, Va. - Nov. 22, 2003 - Christopher Newport scored its first-ever NCAA
Playoff victory, in the first playoff game it ever
got to play at home, with a 24-20 win over
Muhlenberg at POMOCO Stadium.
It was an ironic rematch of a game that was
never played, when the same two teams had
their Sept. 20 game at POMOCO Stadium
cancelled due to the effects of Hurricane
Isabel.
Instead the two met for the first time in the
playoffs in a thrilling contest.
The Mules jumped ahead, 10-0, in the first
quarter when Matt Bernardo scored on a
two-yard run and Brian Hendershot added a
35-yard field goal.
But the Captains battled back on a school-record 85-yard pass
from Phillip Jones to Roland Hillard to cut the deficit to 10-7. A 35yard field goal by Jason Broskie pulled CNU even, but Hendershot
gave Muhlenberg a 13-10 halftime lead with a 27-yarder of his
own with 29 seconds left in the half.
CNU then grabbed the lead near the start of the third quarter
when Hosh Weekes intercepted a Ryan Newman pass and returned it 23 yards for a TD which gave the Captains their first lead,
17-13.
At the start of the fourth quarter the Mules capped an 80-yard
drive with a four-yard TD by Bernardo to regain the lead, 20-17.
With 6:44 to play, CNU began a drive at its own 16-yard line with
the game on the line. Eleven plays later the Captains had a third
and ten situation at the Muhlenberg 16-yard line. Jones tossed a
looping pass which Nathan Davis leaped high over a defender to
catch in the end zone with 3:03 to play to put the Captains back
on top, 24-20.
Muhlenberg drove to the CNU 28 and a first down. But three incompletions and a sack on fourth down gave CNU its first playoff
victory.

Newport News, Va. - Nov. 29, 2003 - For
the second straight playoff game Christopher
Newport played a team that appeared on its
regular season schedule, but this time fell,
26-3, to a Bridgewater team it had defeated in
September.
In that earlier contest the Captains shocked
the No. 5 ranked Eagles, 16-12, for CNU’s first
win over a nationally-ranked team in its history.
The victory also ended Bridgewater’s 29-game
regular season winning streak.
But this time the Eagles were too much.
A one-yard TD run by quarterback Brandon
Wakefield and a 20-yard field goal by Kyle
Beach gave BC a 10-0 halftime lead it never

Salisbury 24
SALISBURY, MD - Christopher Newport’s
football team won its first ever road NCAA Playoff
game coming from behind to defeat Salisbury
35-24 in the first round of the NCAA Playoffs
Saturday afternoon.
The Captains out scored Salisbury 28-17 in the
second half, with three touchdowns coming in the
fourth quarter alone.
Leroy Satchell started the scoring off with 7:48
left in the first on a 23-yard scoring run. Brock
Boland hit the extra-point for a 7-0 lead.
CNU struck back and tied the score at 7-7 with
6:25 left in the first half when George Jones
caught a pass from Hudson Bryant on a 25-yard
touchdown pass.
The Sea Gulls regained the lead on a Mark
Higgins 16-yard touchdown pass from Dustin
Johnson with 10:44 left in the third. Boland his
the PAT for a 14-7 lead.
The Captains tied the score on a Bryant 14-yard touchdown run with
3:12 left in the third stanza. Broskie hit the PAT for a 14-14 ball game.
SU then took a 17-14 lead with 41 seconds left in the third on a
Boland 27-yard field goal. But CNU came right back and took a 21-17
lead just four minutes later. Jones caught his second touchdown pass,
this time from four yards out with 11:48 left in the ball game.
The Sea Gulls continued the see-saw battle as Satchel went 54
yards for a score to give Salisbury a 24-21 lead. But again, the
Captains answered, this time just more than a minute later. Branden
Jones put CNU on top for good with 6:35 left in the fourth. Broskie’s
PAT gave the Captains a 28-24 lead.
On the very next possession, the Sea Gulls advanced the ball to the
CNU 35 and were sacked on back-to-back plays, both by Kareem
Morse, which gave the ball back to the Captains with 1:46 left in the
game.

2006 First Round
Washington & Jefferson 27
CNU 23
NEWPORT NEWS, VA - For the third time in
five seasons, Washington & Jefferson ended
CNU’s season in the NCAA Playoffs. This
year the Presidents defeated the Captains
27-23 on Saturday afternoon.
W&J held a big advantage in the first half
taking a 20-0 lead into the locker room.
The Presidents led 7-0 after the first on
Kevin Matthews 12-yard touchdown catch
from Bobby Swallow with 1:27 remaining in
the opening stanza.
In the second, W&J scored twice, with the
first point-after blocked to lead 20-0. Ryan
Mendel scored from 13 yards out with 5:32
left and on the next CNU possession, Ryan
Mullen picked off Todd Faison at the CNU
41-yard line and returned it for a touchdown.
Nick Cherish tied a school record with three
interceptions, his third came late in the fourth quarter that eliminated any
possibility of a CNU comeback.
The Presidents scored their final touchdown with 9:31 left in the third on
Mendel’s 10-yard run to put W&J in command.
Head Coach Matt Kelchner made a change at quarterback, inserting
Hudson Bryant as the signal caller. He led the Captains on their very next
possession to a touchdown that capped a nine play, 75 yard drive that culminated in Bryant’s 5-yard pass to Curfew Speight in the end zone. Then, as
time expired in the third, Roland Hilliard plunged from 1-yard out that capped
an 81 yard, 12-play drive to cut the Presidents lead to 27-14.
With 8:35 left in the game, Bryant led the Captains to another score when
he found Speight open for his second TD reception, this time from 24 yards
out to put CNU within one score.
After forcing a W&J punt, Cherish got his third pick of the game with less
than two minutes to go in the game. The Captains defense again stepped up
big and forced the Presidents to punt. After a W&J timeout, the Presidents’
punter ran out of the end zone for a safety cutting the lead to 27-23.
On the ensuing kick-off, the kick squibbed up the middle and off a CNU
player’s hands who tried to scoop it up and the Presidents recovered the
loose ball to seal the win.
CNU accumulated 454 yards of total offense on 77 plays. The Captains
rushed for 200 and passed for 254 more. The Presidents were limited to just
181 yards of total offense, about half of what they normally average.
Mendel led the W&J offense with 120 yards on 23 carries and two scores.
Swallow was 10-of-21 for 70 yards passing and one touchdown.
Roland Hilliard concluded his CNU career with 175 yards on 35 carries and
one touchdown. Hilliard came in needing 21 yards for 3,000 all-time. Todd
Faison started the game and went 7-of-13 for 66 yards and two picks. Bryant finished 17-of-21 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Speight caught nine passes for a career-high 126 yards receiving.
Washington & Jefferson improves to 10-1 on the year and will meet the
winner of the Mary Hardin-Baylor/Hardin-Simmons winner next Saturday.
The Captains finish the year 8-3.

A dramatic transformation spanning the past decade has
placed CNU among the United States’ preeminent public
liberal arts universities. The youngest university in Virginia,
CNU is getting better, not bigger.
Our students enroll in rigorous academic programs through
the College of Liberal Arts and the Joseph W. Luter, III
College of Business and Leadership. CNU offers an
unbeatable combination of a personal approach to teaching,
small classes, and an emphasis on leadership, civic
engagement and honor. In everything we do — both inside
and outside the classroom — students remain our
No. 1 priority.
