Coach Van Taylor Van Taylor enters his 28th season as Lander’s head coach I t didn’t take long for Van Taylor’s influence to be felt at Lander. Beginning with his first season on the then-Senator sidelines in 1985, Taylor guided the five-yearold Lander program to second place in NAIA District 6 and its second winning season (14-4-1). Taylor, a 1975 graduate of Erskine Coach Van Taylor College, received a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education and earned NAIA AllDistrict 6 and NCAA All-American honors in 1975. He was inducted into the Erskine Hall of Fame in 1982. He received his master’s degree in education from Lander in 1990 and his Certification in Administration and Supervision from Clemson University in 2003. In 27 seasons at Lander, Taylor has amassed an overall 348-142-28 record (.699 winning percentage). The 2005 team won the NCAA Division II Southeast Region championship, while the 2001 team finished No. 6 in the country when it posted a 17-4 campaign and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II national tournament. He currently serves as the chair of the NCAA Division II Men’s National Soccer Committee. Taylor led Lander to its first of three NAIA District 6 championships in 1987 (15-4-1). The then-Senators also won District 6 titles in 1990 (20-5) and 1991 (21-3-1). In 1990, the Senators won the NAIA Area 9 championship and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament where they placed third. The Senators won the Nels Dahlquist Sportsmanship Trophy at the tournament. Since joining the NCAA, Lander has won Peach Belt tournament championships in 1991, 1996 and 2009. In 1996, the Senators were ranked as high as No. 2 in the country and earned a berth in the national tournament. Taylor was named the PBC Coach of the Year in 1991 and ’95 and the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 1995, 2001 and 2005. He was named NAIA District 6 Coach of the Year in 1985, ’90 and ’91, and NAIA Area 9 Coach of the Year in 1990. In 1975, Taylor was a first-round draft choice for the New York Cosmos of the NASL. Taylor was traded to the Miami Toros in 1976 where he played for three seasons while earning runnerup honors for Rookie of the Year. He was later traded to the Columbus Magic of the ASL in 1979. He finished his playing career with the Phoenix Inferno of the MISL (1980-84). The Taylor File Came to Lander as soccer coach in 1985.

Jankouskas will likely have a slight position change. Leading the way for the Bearcats this year are junior forward "Last year, we played Jankouskas and Clement Dauchy as the Lander’s Clement Dauchy (9) drives the ball against Georgia Southwestern in a 2012 Peach Belt Conference contest. two strikers. This year we have changed it up a bit. I have moved him (Jankouskas) more to the flank, still playing at a high, forward position but he's not playing center anymore," Taylor said. "Brett is so athletic. He is an attacking player, so whether he is playing at a pure center forward or playing wide, he is still in a forward position and that is his strength." Taylor has amassed an impressive 360-149-28 career record since joining the program in 1985. Taylor, who also coached a team of college players called the Palmetto FC Bantams over the summer, is assisted by former Bearcat Stephen Magennis. Taylor is optimistic as he heads into his 28th season opener against Newberry. "That is another thing we would like to make right," Taylor said. "We went down there (to Newberry) last year and got beat in overtime. It's a tough place to play. We are playing at home this year, our home opener, our first game of the season, and I think our players will be ready." The Bearcats host Pfeiffer Sept. 4 and travel to face North Greenville and Wingate Sept. 7 and 12, before hosting Georgia Southwestern in Lander's PBC opener Sept. 15. The rest of the schedule includes road games at Limestone and rival Erskine, and Peach Belt teams USC Aiken, Montevallo, UNC Pembroke, Clayton State, Flagler, new member Young Harris, North Georgia and Francis Marion. "It will be a competitive schedule," Taylor said. "It's going to be challenging. No question. I think a team that everybody should be worried about is USC Aiken. They are very athletic. We have to go down there (to Aiken) this year." Flagler was picked to repeat as PBC champs in the preseason coaches poll, followed by Clayton State, Montevallo, Lander, UNC Pembroke and Young Harris. "It's probably about right. It's based primarily on last year," Taylor said of the preseason poll. "It might be better coming from the middle of the pack. But what matters is where you finish."

It remained a private institution for 26 years. In 1898, the College gained support of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1904, the College was relocated to Greenwood, S.C., and was renamed Lander College in honor of its founder. In 1948, when the Methodist Conference, pursuant to a policy of consolidation in its education efforts, decided to end support of Lander College, interested citizens of Greenwood formed The Lander Foundation as a nonprofit corporation and leased the College from the Church. In 1951, the county of Greenwood obtained the College name and property from the Methodist Conference. The South Carolina General Assembly created the Greenwood County Education Commission, known as The Lander Foundation, to serve as the board of control for the College. Lander thus became the only four-year liberal arts college in the United States to be controlled and financed by a county government. On July 1, 1973, Lander College came under the control of the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of South Carolina, making Lander a state-supported college. The State College Board of Trustees governed Lander, the College of Charleston and Francis Marion College. Effective July 1, 1988, governance of Lander was vested in the Lander College Board of Trustees. On July 1, 1992, by action of the Board of Trustees, the institution became Lander University. Lander was founded as a college for women. Men were admitted in 1943, and the institution is now completely coeducational. Lander University subscribes to a policy of equal educational and employment opportunity for all.

We expect and demand that our student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the courts and fields and that they perform with pride, poise and proper conduct.
