The schedules are set, and the first games of the season are imminent. A national champion readies for a title defense, a few perennial cellar dwellers look for a better finish, and a host of new coaches and players ready to take the field.

First: Northern Colorado became the first Colorado institution to kick-off the fall soccer season with a Friday trip to Norman, Oklahoma.

The Bears exhibition against the Sooners is one of many preparation games ongoing for the coming season. During the next two weeks teams from Greeley to Grand Junction, Durango to Denver and Alamosa to Golden, will be running through the rituals of alumni games and preseason exhibitions.

Below are just some of the things to watch for during the coming season.

Plum Games: With 26 men’s and women’s teams taking the pitch, it’s easy to find an entertaining contest every weekend. There are some dates, however, that really stand out as I look at the fall.

Sept. 4: Colorado faces Denver at the DU Invitational in Denver. It’s nice to see two of the Division I squads get together early in the season. It will be intriguing to see the Buffs and the Pioneers collide, and the sort of matchup that builds local rivalries.

Sept. 24: Metro State women vs. Colorado School of Mines holds a lot of promise. Both teams are ranked in the NCAA Division II preason Top 10. Metro State has won eight straight Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titles, but Mines knocked off the Roadrunners 4-3 on penalty kicks in the 2009 NCAA tournament. This promises to be an entertaining time on Auraria Field.

Oct. 8: It’s a return trip to downtown Denver as the Fort Lewis men visit Metro State. The defending National Champion Skyhawks and the Roadrunners are among the few teams that generate a true distaste for one another. These two teams don’t get along, and last year’s clash at Auraria produced a flurry of yellow and red cards. The return engagement in Durango wasn’t much better.

Seriously, I’m taking 25 minutes on the over/under for the first card in the game when these two meet.

If this doesn’t produce enough drama, the two clash again a week later in Durango.

Oct. 22: All right, this is entirely so I can mention the clip from last year’s New Mexico-BYU showdown. The women at the Air Force Academy host New Mexico. If ever there was a squad trained not to tolerate out of control Lobo defenders, this would be the team. The trip to Colorado Springs seems that much more entertaining.

Nov. 3-7: The men’s and women’s RMAC tournaments will be unfolding on these days. Odds are excellent games will be played (1) in Colorado (2) on campuses in the Denver metro area and (3) on Dirks Field in Durango. I’m in for all of it as teams scramble at the end of the regular season.

Away and Home: The Mesa State women win the prize for the split personality schedule. They open the season with six consecutive road games. While they rack up the road miles, they get a reward at the end of September. The Mavericks start a six-game homestand on Sept. 22, just as the RMAC conference schedule gets under way.

Road Warriors: CSU-Pueblo’s women and the Fort Lewis men will also be collecting miles in the first part of the season.

The Thunderwolves women play three exhibition games on the road, followed by three of the first four games on the road.

The Skyhawks open with a road exhibition game at New Mexico before playing seven of their first eight games on the road.

Aloha Rangers: The Regis women travel to Honolulu to take on BYU-Hawai’i and Hawai’i Pacific on Aug. 26 and 28, respectively, to start the Rangers’ season.

Yes, there will be the challenges of travel and time changes, but doesn’t this sound like the perfect cap to a summer?

Suddenly, all the photographers and every writer at ColoradoSoccerNow.com were ready for an out of town trip.

What Time?: If you are going to a Fort Lewis women’s game and forget the start time, gamble on it being 1 p.m. The Skyhawks play 10 of their 18 games at 1 p.m.. Throw in the Aug. 23 exhibition against Colorado College, and 11 of the team’s games start at 1 p.m.

No other Colorado team comes close to such consistency.

And with that, we begin.

The cup will feature both the school’s men’s and women’s club soccer programs squaring off against one another in one doubleheader event. 

The Inaugural Rocky Mountain College Cup will take place on Sept. 11 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, with the women’s game starting at 5 p.m. followed by the men’s match at 7:30 p.m.

The total aggregate goals scored by the both the women’s and men’s teams from each school will go toward crowning the champion for 2010.  Additional details will likely be up on www.coloradorapids.com.

I won’t take it any further because it only leaves me questioning the wisdom of this move. While I applaud it as a fundraiser for the clubs, I’m left cold by the teams NOT included in this foray. Colorado is home to national champion college soccer programs, and the Rapids have decided to promote a college cup of club soccer teams.

This is not the best that can be done.

If you want to have a game to determine bragging rights, go snare some of the talented teams in this state. The Fort Lewis men’s team and Metro State’s women each have a pair of national titles in the past six years. Shouldn’t they be on the field?

Yes, I get it. CSU and CU have the name recognition. But is that all?

It was difficult to call Saturday's clash a meaningless spring game, as this clash at midfield indicates. The visiting Fort Lewis Skyhawks beat the host DU Pioneers 4-1. (Photo by Jessica Taves/ColoradoSoccerNow.com)

The University of Denver dedicated its soccer field Saturday, but it was the visiting Fort Lewis Skyhawks who got to christen the field with goals and a spring win.

 A sellout crowd of 2,083 got to watch the 2009 NCAA Division II champs dismantle the host Pioneers 4-1, after the DU women tied rival Wyoming 0-0 in the early game.

In the 14th minute, Fort Lewis’ Euan Purcell was taken down in the box and buried the ensuing penalty kick. Less than a minute later, Byron Cephers received a pass on the right side of the box and scored to the opposite side of the goal.

The Skyhawks added a third goal in the 54th minute, when Purcell centered a pass to Thomas Hoang, who headed it in.

Denver newcomer Theodor Remman put Denver on the board in the 59th minute, heading in a pass from Alex DeCosta. However, Hoang scored again in the 68th minute off a cross from Purcell.

 Between spring games, DU Chancellor Robert D. Coombe joined DU Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes, men’s soccer head coach Bobby Muuss, women’s head coach Jeff Hooker and DU Board of Trustee member KC Gallagher, as well as donors and members of both Denver soccer teams in dedicating CIBER Field at the DU Soccer Stadium.

 “This soccer stadium is the last jewel in our crown of beautiful facilities at the Ritchie Center,” Bradley-Doppes said, adding that DU plans to use the stadium to host conference tournaments and NCAA tournaments.

“This was a special night for Denver soccer,” Muuss said. “Not only did we get to celebrate the dedication ceremony with so many of the people who put in so much hard work to get this stadium built, but we brought a sellout crowd out to watch soccer in this beautiful facility.”

 The field is named after CIBER, Inc., an international IT outsourcing and software implementation and integration consultancy based in Greenwood Village, Colo. CIBER’s contributions were instrumental in building the field, and it provides ongoing support to Pioneer Athletics.

“This dedication of the University of Denver Soccer Stadium and CIBER Field adds to DU’s collection of first-rate facilities,” DU Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes said. “We can’t thank CIBER and the other donors enough for their contributions on this project. Our soccer programs have already capitalized on the increased momentum that the new stadium has generated.”           

The field is named after CIBER, Inc., an international IT outsourcing and software implementation and integration consultancy based in Greenwood Village, Colo. CIBER’s contributions were instrumental in building the field, and it provides ongoing support to Pioneer Athletics, according to the university.

The women’s soccer team will take on regional rival Wyoming at 4 p.m., and the men’s annual spring fundraiser game against NCAA Division II national champion Fort Lewis College will begin immediately following the dedication.

“We are excited to dedicate CIBER Field,” Denver women’s soccer head coach Jeff Hooker said. “This is the culmination of a lot of hard work and generosity from donors, and now we have one of the nicest soccer stadiums in the country.”

In his 12th season as head coach, Kohlenstein led Mines to the NCAA Division II tournament for the second time in program history. The Orediggers finished the 2009 season with a record of 15-3-4 overall (11-2-1 RMAC). They were ranked 18th in Division II. Kohlenstein was named the RMAC Coach of the Year in 2009, marking the fifth time in his career he has received this honor. Two games into the 2009 season, Kohlenstein became Mines’ winningest men’s soccer coach. He has 139 total victories at Mines.

Kohlenstein owns a career record of 462-208-63 (.673 winning percentage), and the 2009 season marked his 30th in the collegiate and professional ranks. Kohlenstein has coached 28 All-Americans, 12 Academic All-Americans, one Rhodes Scholar, five national team players and 145 all-conference athletes.

Clarke is the first women’s soccer coach in Fort Lewis history to earn this honor. In 2009, the Skyhawks completed the most successful season in the history of the school’s women’s soccer program. FLC had a 19-3-2 overall record, and a 12-2-2 RMAC record. The team climbed to its highest national ranking ever, No. 11, and it was the RMAC tournament champion. Fort Lewis hosted its first national tournament game and made it farther than any women’s soccer team in Fort Lewis history by making it to the second round of the national tournament.

Clarke has a 45-15-7 record in his three seasons as head coach.

The National Soccer Coaches Association of America awards are based on a vote of the coaches’ peers within their region. Regional coaches of the year are finalists for the national coach of the year award at their respective levels. The national winners will be announced at the annual NSCAA awards banquet on Jan. 15 in Philadelphia.

I set up the All-Colorado women’s team with a nearly identical intro, so if you want to skip ahead straight to the team, feel free.

To reset: I was very thankful in 2009 to see many excellent college soccer teams and players on the field in Division I and II. And while watching them, I can’t help but be amazed at their skill and quality.

It was during the spring, when the W-League was in full swing, that I got the idea to put together a list of the best 11 players that we covered in that league. So when the college season started, the idea was still fresh in my mind. And today we present the final results for all the teams that play men’s college soccer in this state.

I have to admit that we didn’t get to cover every team in the state this fall. We made the effort, but we fell short of covering every men’s and every women’s college team.

Sometimes our choices of what games to cover were influenced by trying to see as many teams as possible.

Sometimes our choices were based on the expected quality of a particular match. For example, in the fall, we were at Auraria Field for a Metro State women’s game, and we opted to leave and go to Golden so we could cover Fort Lewis at Mines. We missed the Metro men that afternoon, and we never got back to see the Metro men. That was disappointing. But on that day, it was the right choice. The only time we got to see the Metropolitan State College men’s team was in the Colorado Rapids’ annual Burgundy & Blue match in the spring at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, and that was not the best example of how well the Roadrunners can play.

Sometimes our coverage was influenced by the weather, and our coverage always was limited by how many places I physically needed to be on a given week.

So, with that in mind, ColoradoSoccerNow.com is proud to announce its 2009 All-Colorado men’s team, as chosen by me with input from photographers Tom Auclair and Jonathan Ingraham. We’ve chosen to go with a 4-3-3.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Tom Settle, Fort Lewis College. The Skyhawks had weapons all across the pitch, but Settle was the creative side of the brain for FLC. Settle had only 10 goals but narrowly missed being the leading scorer in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference because he had so many assists. Just look at the list of RMAC leading scorers: Eight of the top 20 scorers were from Fort Lewis, including the top four. A lot of that can be attributed to Settle’s vision and distribution. Settle had 24 assists, far and away the best number in the conference. The second-best assist total was 11.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Oige Kennedy, Fort Lewis College. It’s simple, really. If you win the national championship, you are the coach of the year. If you win the national championship in your first year as the head coach, something no college soccer coach had ever done, you are the coach of the year. And if you win the national championship as an interim head coach, you get hired full-time.

ALL-COLORADO 2009
GOALKEEPER
Manville Strand, Colorado School of Mines: True freshman set the RMAC on fire with gutsy, acrobatic saves and leadership from the back. Strand started all 22 matches in goal and had a 0.87 goals-against average, second-best in the conference, and led the RMAC in save percentage (.808). He posted a record of 15-2-4 with eight shutouts, second in the conference. More honors: National Soccer Coaches Association of America second team all-Central Region, Daktronics second team All-Central Region, 2009 RMAC freshman of the year, second team All-RMAC honors, RMAC Defensive Player of the Week (Sept. 8, Sept. 15, Oct. 6). Will be fun to watch in the years to come.

DEFENSE
Kyle Wood, Fort Lewis: Relentlessly pushes the ball forward, and does it fast. His moves are smooth. He has solid footwork. He’s difficult to beat. And the other team’s entire left side must worry about him.

Fabian Kling, Fort Lewis: He’s a 6-foot-4 sophomore from Germany who is dazzling in the middle of the field. He moves well in all directions and has the confidence to advance deep into an opponent’s territory. Excellent ball handler.

Jamie Cunningham, Fort Lewis: OK, I just don’t get this. I’m picking three Fort Lewis defenders as the best in the state at any level, and none of them was chosen All-RMAC. Wood, Kling and Cunningham were recognized on the Daktronics all-Central Region teams, but not all-RMAC. Wood is a dynamic force on the outside, and Cunningham and Kling are nearly impregnable on the inside. Cunningham, a 6-2 junior from Arizona, looks at least as big as Kling and is physical, strong, fast and aggressive. He also pushes forward when the situation arises.

Kris Banghart, DU: This senior from Fort Collins was named to the Duke Classic all-tournament team despite the fact that the Pioneers lost 4-0 and 2-0. He’s an imposing physical presence at the back with great vertical and lateral movement, with or without the ball. Invited to the Major League Soccer combine. Banghart and the three Fort Lewis defenders would be lethal on the field together.

MIDFIELD
Jarod Stigall, Denver: He’s got a wicked shot and nasty moves. Nice touch on set pieces. Second-team all-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and was second-leading scorer for the Pioneers.

Collin Audley, Denver: The Pioneers are blessed with two players who are dangerous on restarts, and Izzy is the other one. After DU lost Sam Garza to a knee injury early in the season, Audley’s role increased dramatically for DU. He displayed poise, control, leadership and composure as DU’s captain. Was two-time all-MPSF selection. Was third in scoring for DU.

Tom Settle, Fort Lewis: See above.

FORWARD
Steven Emory, Metro State: The RMAC player of the year, the Daktronics Central Region player of the year. He led the RMAC in shots, was fifth in scoring with 29 points, was fifth in goal scoring with 11 and was fifth in assists.

Euan Purcell, Fort Lewis: A no-brainer here. Amazing vertical leap makes him a threat in the air. He’s fast and strong and plays the role of a target well. The RMAC’s leading scorer and leading goal scorer (21).

Jeff Nelson, Mines: When I think of Mines, I think of the dynamic strand at the back of the field and the dynamic Nelson at the front. Nelson was fourth in the RMAC in goals, with 12, and he made them count: He was second with five game-winning goals. The senior was on the NSCAA’s academic All-West first team and the academic all-RMAC first team.

12TH MAN
Joe Barnd, Fort Lewis: I’m creating a special category here because Barnd gave an extra dimension to a team that might not have needed one. Barnd played in 11 matches but started only three of them. And in those 11 matches, he scored eight goals. Off the bench, he had a nose for goal and was in the right place at the right time. His goal late in the match against Regis in Denver was the difference between a 1-0 victory and a 0-0 tie.

HONORABLE MENTION
GOALKEEPER: Zane Wells, Fort Lewis; Joe Willis, DU; Jarod Thomas, Adams State; Wally Fink, Regis.

DEFENSE: Pat Laughlin, Metro State; Blake Shannon, DU; Ryan Brennan, Regis, Erik Andersen, CSU-Pueblo.

MIDFIELD: Ted Decker, Mines; Keane Hamilton, Fort Lewis; Dimo Krymanidis, Fort Lewis.

FORWARD: Josh Rhynard, Air Force: Steven Noller, Air Force; Alex Tarnoczi, DU; David Barden, Fort Lewis.

Botts went on to score the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Cal State-Dominguez Hills in the Division II championship game in Tampa, Florida. So it makes sense that GVSU finished atop the National Soccer Coaches Association of America’s final Division II poll.

Mines, which advanced farther than any team in school history, finished in seventh place.

Here are the final women’s Division II rankings:

1 Grand Valley State (Mich.)
2 West Florida
3 Cal State-Dominguez Hills
4 Saint Rose (N.Y.)
5 Carson-Newman (Tenn.)
6 West Texas A&M
7 Colorado School of Mines

Similarly, Fort Lewis College was the best men’s soccer team to play in the Centennial State in 2009, and the Skyhawks find themselves atop the national rankings after winning the Division II championship. FLC began the season strong and finished even stronger, winning every game but one.

Here are the men’s final Division II rankings:

Fort Lewis College President Brad Bartel and Athletic Director Kelly Higgins have removed the word interim from Oige Kennedy’s title, making him the official coach of the men’s soccer team, the school has announced.

The move was made at the most recent meeting of the vice president’s council and was based on a recommendation by Higgins.

“As I stated when he was hired as interim, he now has a chance to earn the position, and his performance this past fall had already clearly shown his abilities to me and Dr. Bartel, the men on the soccer team and our FLC soccer supporters,” Higgins said. “Now he’s shown the rest of the NCAA, and I expect he’ll continue to do so.”

Kennedy received word prior to the Division II championship game that the interim title would be removed. On December 5, Kennedy became the first coach in NCAA soccer history on any level to win a national championship in his first season as a head coach. The Skyhawks defeated Lees-McRae College 1-0 on December 5 at Pepin Stadium in Tampa, Florida, to collect their second national title in five years.

Kennedy was an assistant coach for Fort Lewis for the past four years and was offered the interim coaching position after Tim Hankinson left before the season to coach professionally in India.

Kennedy led the Skyhawks to a 24-1 record.

“I’m very honored to be a part of this winning program and to follow in the footsteps of coaches such as Gunn, Fishbein and Hankinson. To be only the fourth coach in Fort Lewis men’s soccer history is very exciting for me, and I’m really looking forward to the future of Skyhawk soccer, “ Kennedy said.

Tom Settle and Euan Purcell of the Fort Lewis College men’s soccer team have been recognized by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Settle, a senior midfielder from Portsmouth, England, was named to the NSCAA All-America first team. He scored nine goals and added 19 assists in 24 games, 23 of them starts.

Purcell, a senior from Bolton, England, led Fort Lewis with 21 goals and 45 points in 20 games. Four of his goals were game winners.

The national champion Skyhawks had two players honored. Cal State-Los Angeles claimed the lion’s share of berths on the team, with four players earning recognition. Four other schools each had three players named.

Early this month, top-ranked Fort Lewis claimed its second national championship with a 1-0 victory over Lees-McCrae at Pepin Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
