MEN’S SOCCER 2017 GAME NOTES

‹ 4 ›

The Liberty men’s soccer program has firmly entrenched itself among the elite of the Big South Conference and achieved new heights during Jeff Alder’s tenure at his alma mater. In 2001, Alder took over a program which had been a consistent winner and built it into a perennial contender for the Big South Conference title. During his tenure, the Flames have won the program’s only two Big South championships, earning Liberty’s inclusion in the NCAA Tournament field.

Alder’s Flames have posted 10 or more wins in seven of their last 10 seasons, including five consecutive 10-plus win seasons (2007-2011) for the first time in program history. The run of double-digit wins began with a 13-5-2 record, the most victories in a season during his tenure, as the Flames captured their first ever Big South title in 2007.

The Liberty alum captured his 100th coaching win in 2011 with a 2-0 victory over No. 10 Virginia in Charlottesville, Va., on Sept. 13.

Alder has seen 23 of his players move on to the professional ranks, with Sachem Wilson becoming the first Liberty player to ever play in the Europa League. Wilson made his debut in the June 2016 as a member of ND Gorcia. In addition, Alder has seen midfielder Joshua Boateng taken in the 2009 Major League Soccer (MLS) Super Draft and seven others picked in the MLS Supplemental Draft.

Alder has seen several of his players earn prestigious honors during his tenure. In 2008, Boateng was listed on the Hermann Trophy watch list throughout the season and became the program’s first Division I All-American. In 2002, Darryl Roberts, the program’s all-time point leader, became Liberty’s first Freshman All-American.

Roberts and defender Osei Telesford went on to play for their country’s national team, Trinidad and Tobago in 2006.

In addition, junior forward Tresor Mbuyu became the first Liberty player to be named the Big South Attacking Player of the Year in 2016 and the second Flame in program history to be selected as a Big South Player of the Year. Mbuyu led the Big South with 29 points and tied for the conference lead with 10 goals. He finished the year second in the conference with nine assists.

Off the field, Alder’s program continues to make its mark in the classroom as well. The men’s soccer team was recognized by the NCAA with a Public Recognition Award in 2012 and 2013. The award honors teams for their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, and are given each year to teams with APRs in the top 10

percent of their sport. Also, Alder has had two of his players named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in midfielder Phillip Aseweh in 2011 and defender Michael Gelatt in 2007 and 2008. The Flames also were honored with a NSCAA Team Academic Award for the 2013-14 academic year.

Alder spent nine years as an assistant and four seasons as a player for 21-year head coach Bill Bell, before taking over as the program’s third head coach. Alder also spent six years as the Director of Academics for Athletics, giving him more than 25 years on Liberty Mountain.

During Alder’s previous 16 years at the helm of the men’s soccer program, the Flames have not only captured their first two Big South Conference titles in school history (2007 & 2011), but have recorded a top-three finish in the conference’s regular-season standings nine times. Liberty has finished first (2001) in the Big South regular-season standings once, placed second (2003, 2004, 2007) three times and completed conference play third (2002, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2012) five times during his tenure. The Flames have also played in the Big South Championship title game five times under Alder, reaching the title contest in 2001, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013.

Student-athletes under Alder have combined to earn one All-American honor, two Freshman All-American awards, three Capital One Academic All-America accolades, 18 all-region recognitions, on Big South Player of the Year honor, three Big South Freshman of the Year awards and 57 all-conference selections, including 30 first-team members.
