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 Kelchner vs. All Opponents Opponent Averett Bridgewater Chowan Ferrum Greensboro Mary Hardin-Baylor Maryville McDaniel Methodist Muhlenberg N.C.

Jones 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 Matt Kelchner Year-By-Year Year 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Totals W 5 6 8 9 6 8 7 49 Christopher Newport Football - NCAA Playoffs 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 L 4 5 3 3 4 2 3 25 T 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pct. .556 .545 .727 .750 .600 .800 .700 .662 Postseason (Round) NCAA (1) NCAA (1) NCAA (2) NCAA (2) NCAA (1) Captains 2008 Head Coach Matt Kelchner spent two seasons working with the defensive line, and his units produced four athletes who earned All-Conference honors.

The Captains fell behind 27-0 midway through the third quarter, but rallied to within 27-23 late in the game before falling. In its first seven years of football Christopher Newport has posted a 49-25 record. Of those 74 games an amazing 23 have been against nationally ranked opponents with CNU winning eight.

He is a native of Covington, Pennsylvania, and is a 1982 graduate of Susquehanna University, where he started as a cornerback and was the squad’s punter. In 1982, Kelchner’s coaching career began at Mansfield University (PA) as an assistant. He also served as an assistant at Dickinson College (PA) before joining the staff at William & Mary in 1984. Kelchner spent 16 seasons at William & Mary, rising to the eventual title of Assistant Head Football Coach.

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.

Christopher Newport Football - NCAA Playoffs 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 Captains 2008 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 CAPTAINS As always, CNU took home a boat-load of spots on the annual all-USA South team. Offensively, freshman wide receiver Jesse Bradshaw and senior offensive linemen Cliff Weddle and Cory Webster were first team selections, while fullback Mario Barnes, quarterback Todd Faison, tight end Brian Long and lineman James Jackson earned second team honors and running back Mike Thomas was tabbed honorable mention. Defensively, lineman DeShaun Parker and back Matt Long were first team choices, lineman Trevor Wagner, linebacker Adrin Diggs and back Leroy Harper were on the second team and linebacker Chris Nickle was listed as honorable mention. Junior place kicker Jay Graham and junior 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 consecutive extra points (25) and best field goal percentage (.929 on 8-9) and best PAT percentage (.971) on 34-35).

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. USA South Facts Location: Fayetteville, N.C.

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.

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.

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.
