2011-12 OUTLOOK


The Davidson wrestling team will have adifferent look this season with 11 freshmenjoining seven returners, but the Wildcats arejust as hungry for success as they open the2011-12 season Saturday at the Rat RumbleOpen hosted by VMI.

“I feel great, great things are coming in thepresent and I know they are going to come inthe future,” said head coach Bob Patnesky. “It’sjust a matter of time before we see more guyson top of that podium like Alex Radsky.”

With the departure of Southern Conferencepodium finishers Alex and Vitaly Radsky andheavyweight mainstay Charlie Wolff, theWildcats have some big holes to fill. Patnesky,beginning his eighth season at the helm and his10th season with the Davidson wrestling pro-gram, and assistant coach Michael Childs willlook for continued improvement from thereturners and for their talented newcomers tostep in early.

“We just have to be excited for where weare at as we have some talented freshmen, butyou just don’t know in a year like this whatcould happen,” said Patnesky. “It’s a matter ofhow fast they turn the corner, how fast theymature and how fast they understand the con-cept of college versus high school wrestling. It’sa whole different level of competition, but itcould be something special. We’ll just try to bepositive and keep encouraging them to moveforward.”

Senior captain Tyler Mullen, the lone senioron the team, will look to lead the squad andearn a Southern Conference Championship at165 pounds after his injuries marred hischances in 2011.

“I am extremely excited on the year and tosee what happens,” said Patnesky. “Our mainobjectives are to stay positive, win or lose, andto keep getting better each and every week.”

125 poundsJunior Matt Zarth will look to hold on to his

starting spot with freshman Philip Elias chal-lenging him for time on the mat. Zarth com-piled a career best 15-19 record and placedfourth at the Southern ConferenceChampionships last season.

“We do expect Matt to have a break outyear,” said Patnesky. “He is bigger, which isgood in his weight class, and hopefully he canput it together and have a great run at the endof the year. We are looking for him to step upand be a leader and take care of business.”

Elias was a 2011 Pennsylvania

Interscholastic Athletic Association state tour-nament place winner and Southwest Regionalthird-place winner wrestling at Shady SideAcademy in Pittsburgh, Pa. He also qualifiedfor the state tournament in 2010 and was theSouthwest Regional Champion.

133 poundsWith the departure of Alex Radsky, a fresh-

man will step into the void of the 2010Southern Conference Champion and NCAATournament participant. Anthony Elias, thetwin brother of Philip, will battle BenHartshorn for the starting nod. Elias won back-to-back Allegheny County championships as ajunior and senior wrestling at Shady SideAcademy, and qualified for the state tourna-ment as a senior. Hartshorn was a four-time all-county, all-league and Pennsylvania AAASoutheastern Regional Qualifier at ConestogaHigh School in Stafford, Pa. He was also a 2011state qualifier and two-time sectional champi-on.

141 poundsFreshman Kevin Birmingham will look to

replace last year’s team MVP, Vitaly Radsky.Birmingham placed seventh in the New Jerseystate tournament wrestling for Timber CreekHigh School in Slickerville, N.J.

“In wrestle-offs, Kevin was super impres-sive,” said Patnesky. “He’s exciting and cancatch you from anywhere.”

149 poundsJunior Scott Ray plans to stay at 149 for the

season, a weight he went 9-11 at in 2011 andcompeted in the conference tournament at.

“He is a lot bigger than he was last yearand I think it’s going to be a great move forhim,” said Patnesky. “He just needs to keep agood head. He is an extremely hard workerand has a lot of talent. We will just have to seewhat happens in the conference.”

157 poundsInjuries kept CT Talevi off the mat as a

freshman, but he’ll look to make a big impactfor the ‘Cats this season. A Roanoke, Va. native,Talevi was a two-time top-five state tourna-ment finisher Cave Spring High School.

“CT is really excited to come back andwrestle this year,” said Patnesky. “He is goingto go 157 for us and he’s been workingextremely hard to get into shape.”

165 poundsTyler Mullen had put together a career-best

season as a junior with a 15-11 record, but aninjury abbreviated it before the conferencetournament. In his senior season, Mullen willbe counted on to score points on the mat andbe a leader off of it with the ‘Cats’ youthfulteam.

“Tyler has all the talent in the world to winthe conference,” said Patnesky. “It’s just a mat-ter of what happens, and the Saturday the con-ference tournament is held, anything can hap-pen. It’s a tough weight but he has a good shotat winning if he puts it all together at the righttime.”

Junior Chris Cirenza will move down aweight class from last season and compete withMullen for the slot at 165 pounds.

“Chris has made a total commitment towrestling and it’s great,” said Patnesky. “He’sgoing to battle Tyler Mullen for the starting

spot. As far as his character and how far he hasgrown since he has been a freshman, it is justincredible.”

174 poundsAfter wrestling at 184 and 197 pounds as a

sophomore, Ike Crews is moving down to 174pounds for his junior season.

“Ike might not be down there for a fewweeks but he just works hard,” said Patnesky.“He tries to get better each and every day andyou can see significant improvement in himand he just needs to continue that. One advan-tage Ike has is that he is just very strong. Weneed to take advantage of that.”

Freshman Ian Solcz will look to challengeCrews for the starting nod. Solcz was a fourth-place finisher in the New York StateChampionship at Pittsford Mendon HighSchool in Pittsford, N.Y.

184 poundsSophomore Scott Patrick was named to the

SoCon All-Freshman team after going 8-10 withfour pins at 174 pounds, but will move up to184 pounds for the 2011-12 season. Patrickwent 2-1 in three bouts at the weight last sea-son.

“I think 184 will be a very comfortableweight for Scott,” said Patnesky. “He’s definite-ly got a chance to make conference finals. Withthe talent that he has, it is on him to determinewhat he wants to do. We are going to push himas much as we can, but in the end, he is the onethat’s going to really push himself to the top.”

197 poundsFreshman Eddie Isola will occupy a weight

class the ‘Cats struggled to fill last season. Isolawas a state runner-up as a senior at BishopMoore Catholic High School in Maitland, Fla.

“Ed is a true student of the sport and hewants to achieve great things in collegiatewrestling,” said Patnesky. “He is coming alongand will do well at 197.”

HeavyweightFreshman Jordan Ownbey will start at

heavyweight, replacing longtime starterCharlie Wolff. Ownbey placed fourth in theNorth Carolina state tournament wrestling atEnka High School in Candler, N.C.

“Jordan has a very solid wrestling back-ground and we’re excited to see his progres-sion,” said Patnesky.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT

Jim Murphy was introduced as DavidsonCollege’s Director of Athletics in November of1995, returning to his alma mater to lead theWildcats on the eve of their 100th anniversary ofintercollegiate athletics and into the next century.

Prior to his appointment at Davidson, Murphy,53, spent 10 years as executive associate athleticdirector and chief financial officer for the GeorgiaTech Athletic Association.

Murphy, an Atlanta native, played football andbaseball during his freshman year at Davidson. His

experience has been invaluable as he guides a program which is unique in itsdesire for excellence in both athletics and academics and has one of thesmallest enrollments among NCAA Division I schools.

Reflecting his support of academics, Davidson’s NCAA graduation rateof 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 witha rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year.

“I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics andthink the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after grad-uation proves that,” said Murphy. “It’s true that Davidson needs intercolle-giate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.”

Since Murphy’s return to Davidson, the Wildcats have pursued severalmajor capital projects, including the creation of the highly-innovative $10million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have beencompleted in Belk Arena and atSmith Field at RichardsonStadium.

The last five years have seenthe construction of the BelkArtificial Surface Field for fieldhockey, the new AlumniStadium for soccer, WilsonBaseball Park and batting cagesand the football stadium expan-sion project, which included astate-of-the-art weight room, anew press box and additionalpermanent seating.

Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/I-AAA Southeast RegionAthletic Director of the Year, served two terms on the prestigious NCAADivision I Management Council, a policy-making body within the NCAAgovernance structure. He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committeeand formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet,the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee.From 2002-04, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of theSouthern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host theNCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and alsoserved as Tournament Director of the first and second-round games of the2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte.

Murphy is a past member of the Division I Football Issues Committeeand Past-President of the Football Championship Subdivision AthleticDirectors Association. He was also a member of the NCAA Task Force onRecruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture ofrecruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’sFiscal Responsibility Oversight Group.

A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidsonwith a degree in economics, he earned a Master of Science degree in manage-ment from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as an audit man-ager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwickin Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits of public andprivate companies with up to $1 billion in assets.

Murphy has been active in the community since his return to Davidson.He is involved with Social Venture Partners - Charlotte, chairs the Board ofManagers of the Lake Norman YMCA, the Board of Directors of theCharlotte Regional Sports Commission, served three years on the Board ofthe Charlotte Council for Children and three years on the Board of Directorsof the Town of Davidson Youth Baseball League.

Murphy is married to Dr. Susan Roberts, a political science professor atDavidson, and his 24-year-old son, Matt, is a graduate of the University ofNorth Carolina and works in advertising in Chapel Hill, N.C.

From 2006 to 2010, Quillen served as Rice's vice provost for aca-demic affairs, focusing particularly on developing initiatives that crossacademic schools, faculty diversity and faculty development, andresource development. During this time, she worked with faculty todevelop and secure funding for a new Center for Asian Studies and anew Institute for Urban Research. She co-chaired the president's diver-sity task force, and instituted mentoring programs for junior faculty.

As vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives,Quillen was responsible for developing and implementing Rice's over-all global strategy, which includes research partnerships, recruitingstrategies, curricular revision and international opportunities for stu-dents. She also facilitates implementation of university-wide initia-tives, including the Institute for Urban Research, Rice 360 (a globalhealth effort), and collaborations with Baylor and other institutionswithin the Texas Medical Center.

James W. Crownover, chair of Rice University's Board of Trustees,said, "It's an honor for Rice that one of ours has been chosen to lead aplace as respected as Davidson. She will work hard, and she will suc-ceed there."

Quillen grew up in New Castle, Del., a small town where she says"it was second nature to support the community and look out forother people." A Presbyterian, she attended Quaker schools from pre-kindergarten through high school. She earned a B.A. degree inAmerican history from the University of Chicago, graduating Phi BetaKappa with special and general honors, then received a Ph.D. degreein European histo-ry from Princeton.A humanist whoseacademic interestsinclude early mod-ern European his-tory, Europeanintellectual historyand gender stud-ies, Quillen haswritten two bookson Petrarch, aswell as a numberof scholarly arti-cles, reviews andpapers. She hasreceived a numberof teaching awardsduring her tenure at Rice.

Quillen's daughter, Caitlin, will be a first-year student at theUniversity of North Carolina next fall. Quillen's husband, KenKennedy-a computer pioneer who founded the computer science pro-gram at Rice—died of pancreatic cancer in 2007. "His greatest gift tome, and to the Rice community, was in living the life he would havechosen," Quillen said. "That's something I think about in a very pro-found way every day."

At Davidson, Quillen succeeds Tom Ross '72, who announced inAugust 2010 that he would step down to become president of theUniversity of North Carolina system in January 2011.

On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 footballplayers traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson Collegeagainst Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in theSouth. The Plainsmen had massacred their first fouropponents, outscoring teams, 141-6.

According to one account, they were “big, quick, andundefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup.Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 poundsless.

Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, out-gaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offen-sive attack through the efforts of running back A.R.“Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, deliveringa “bewildering array of forward passes.”

Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in

the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that cap-tured the awe and respect of Atlanta sportswriters.They wrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College,whose small stature and ferocious style proved over-whelming. One account notes that Morgan Blake ofthe Atlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team,“No other team ever put together in these UnitedStates of the same weight as Coach Fetzer’s teamcould ever get the verdict over the flock of wild menfrom North Carolina.”

The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and ithas been used ever since, replacing former, milder ref-erences such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and“Preachers.”
