THE ROAD TO THE COLLEGE CUP
Penn State plays in the second round of the
NCAA Tournament for the second time in as
many seasons as it defeated Hartwick 2-1 in the
first round to advance to take on Syracuse. The
Nittany Lions face the Orange for the 37th time but
for only the third time in the last 54 years.
PSU secured one of 24 at-large bids to the
48 team field and is playing in its 32nd NCAA
Tournament appearance. The Lions are 28-30-1
all-time during the NCAA’s and hold a 5-22 record
on the road during the postseason.
conference opponents. The Lions beat the Red
Storm 3-0, Aug. 31 and took care of business with
Bucknell on the road 2-0, on Oct. 1. SU downed
the Johnies 1-0, Sept. 6, while they beat the Bison
at home 4-1, on Oct. 21.
Syracuse and Penn State have also both played
Hartwick and Akron, but SU tallied wins against
the pair in the pre-season, while the Nittany Lions
defeated Akron 1-0, Nov. 5 and the Hawks 2-1 in
the first round of the NCAA Tournament (Nov. 20),
both at Jeffrey Field.
SERIES HISTORY
Penn State and Syracuse have played a total of
37 times during each program’s storied history,
but have never met in the postseason. The Lions
and Orange did most of their meeting during the
first half of the 20th century as both squads have
squared off just nine times since the 1950 season.
PSU has won 18 of the last 19 meetings dating
back to 1937 but has dropped its last match by
a 4-0 score on Aug. 31, 2007 in Columbus, Ohio
during the Wolstein Soccer Classic.
BREAKOUT BRETT
Penn State sophomore Brett Gravatt picked the
perfect time to make his PSU presence known
as the Akron transfer scored his first ever Nittany
Lion goal Thursday night in the Lions’ 2-1 NCAA
Opening Round victory over Hartwick. The score
was the eventual game winner, coming in the
74th minute and curled into the top left corner of
the goal out of the reach of Hawks’ goalie Tom
Buckner. Gravatt has battled injuries this season,
playing in 10 matches, starting a pair and firing off
a half a dozen shots in 284 minutes of play.
BREAKING DOWN THE BRACKET
Penn State is one of four teams still alive in its
portion of the NCAA bracket. The Lions advanced
with their 2-1 win over Hartwick on Thursday to
advance to take on No. 9 Syracuse. In the other
first round match, Old Dominion defeated St.
Francis (Brooklyn) 3-0 to advance to play No. 8
Georgetown. The winner of the Syracuse/Penn
State contest will take on the victor from the
Georgetown/ODU match-up, with the lowest
seed hosting the third round match on Nov. 30.
LIONS LAST TIME OUT...
Two second half goals, capped off by Penn State
sophomore Brett Gravatt’s first of the season
proved to be the difference as the Nittany Lions
men’s soccer team (13-5-1) defeated Hartwick
(6-10-4), Thursday night at Jeffrey Field. Gravatt’s
score came in the 74th minute as both teams were
tied at one apiece when the midfielder curled a
shot into the top left corner of the net, sending
the Lion bench and the fans at Jeffrey Field into
a frenzy.
COMMON ENEMIES
Penn State and the ‘Cuse share a handful of
common opponents during the 2014 season,
with three coming in the regular season and a pair
during the exhibition slate.
The score by Gravatt (Dunn Loring, Va.) was the
second Penn State goal in a 14 minute stretch,
after the Hawks took a 1-0 lead early in the
second half. PSU’s first score came off the foot
of senior Mikey Minutillo (San Jose, Calif.), who
took a pass from Drew Klingenberg (Gibsonia,
Pa.) and squibbed the ball past Hawks’ goalie
Tom Buckner to even the match at 1-1.
Both schools have squared off against Big Ten
foe Rutgers, with PSU shutting out the Scarlet
Knights 1-0 on Oct. 4 and the Orange handing
RU the same fate but a month earlier on Sept. 4.
Penn State and Syracuse have also played St.
John’s and Bucknell during the 2014 season, with
each team sweeping meetings with the two non-
The Lions had a man advantage over the Hawks
for the better part of the second half, after

AMONG THE CONFERENCE’S BEST
Penn State has been near the top of the
conference charts in multiple statistical
categories this season.
JEFFREY FIELD DOMINANCE
Penn State has enjoyed success at Jeffrey Field
with more than 300 victories at the famed facility.
Impressively, the Nittany Lions have never posted
a losing season at Jeffrey Field, going 316-81-34
all-time for a winning percentage of .773. Last
season, PSU went 8-1-1 and since 2012 the
Nittany Lions are 25-6-3 (.779) with a pair of Big
Ten titles. Penn State is 10-3-0 this year at home

with 22,172 fans coming to Jeffrey this year.
WOLVIE WATCH 2014
The Nittany Lions feature one of the top
goalkeepers in the nation with senior Andrew
Wolverton patrolling the goal area. The 2013 Big
Ten Goalkeeper of the Year and NSCAA All-Great
Lakes First Team honoree has returned with a
pair of career Penn State records in his sights,
one of which was achieved Sept. 28 at Michigan.
Wolverton currently sits first in PSU records
in goals-against average (0.79) and shutouts
(32). Already the single-season record holder in
shutouts (12 in 2012), Wolverton eclipsed the
career record in front of his family on Sunday,
Sept. 28 with a clean sheet against Michigan.
As for GAA, Wolverton looks to break Whit
Gibson’s mark of 0.78 set during his two seasons
in Happy Valley (1998-99). Wolverton’s save
percentage is also impressive at .792 to back up
a 38-22-8 career record in net.
This season, Wolverton has racked up shutout
streaks of 321 minutes, 22 seconds and 517
minutes, 42 seconds. The latter streak was to
open the season as Wolverton was the final
starting goalkeeper in Division I to allow a goal,
which occurred on Sept. 24. He is 11-5-0 this
season with nine shutouts.

2014 PENN STATE
BOB
WARMING
Head Coach • Fifth Year
BEREA COLLEGE ‘75
PENN STATE RECORD 58-33-11 (.623)
OVERALL RECORD 441-215-75 (.655)
Entering his fifth season as Penn State’s 11th coach in its storied
history, Bob Warming has made his impact known in his first four
years. Twice named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2012 and 2013 by
leading the Nittany Lions to back-to-back Big Ten titles, Warming
has added a pair of trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 (2010, 2013) as well.
In 2013, Warming’s charges relied on stout defense, timely scoring
and guile to capture its fifth Big Ten regular-season title in outright
fashion. Ultimately, the Nittany Lions won NCAA Tournament games
against St. Francis Brooklyn and 10th-seeded UC Santa Barbara to
reach the Sweet 16. The Lions finished with a 13-6-2 record and a
5-1-0 mark in Big Ten play.
Following a pair of strong seasons to begin his career at PSU,
Warming’s 2012 squad accumulated a 3-1-2 conference record to
capture the team’s first Big Ten regular season championship in seven years. The Nittany Lions held opponents to just over one goalper-game during the season, as they went unbeaten in their final four
regular season conference contests.
The 2011 campaign presented a major milestone for Warming as
he became the 31st NCAA Division I men’s soccer head coach to
capture 400 career victories after the Nittany Lions downed Florida
International, 1-0, in the team’s fourth game of the season. Penn
State struggled through the Big Ten regular season, but hit its stride
in the conference tournament, earning the distinction of being the
first No. 7 seed to reach the title game.
The Nittany Lions switched roles from a high-powered offense
in 2010 to a shutdown defense in 2011. The team allowed just 14
goals, the fewest since the 1977 squad surrended 12 scores. Rookie
goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton set school records for the most shutouts in a season (12) and led the Big Ten in GAA (0.60) and save
percentage (.821).
Warming led the Lions to 14 wins in 2011, the most by a PSU team
since 2002, a Big Ten Tournament title game appearance, and the
program’s first NCAA postseason victory in five years.
Penn State boasted one of the nation’s most prolific offenses in
2010, totaling 144 points (45 goals, 54 assists) in 23 games. Junior
forward Corey Hertzog posted the most productive season by a Nittany Lion in 55 years, recording an NCAA-leading 20 goals and 46
points. Senior midfielder Matheus Braga led the nation and shattered the Big Ten single season record in assists, registering 17.
Both players earned NSCAA Second Team All-America honors.
Also successful in the classroom, Penn State received the NSCAA
Team Academic Achievement Award in 2010, earning the honor with
a 3.07 team GPA.
Warming’s three-plus decades as a head coach have been marked
by distinction, achievement, and success. The six-time finalist for
national coach of the year and 2008 winner of the award (according
to FieldTurf Tarkett) holds a lofty place in the NCAA record book,
ranking third among active Division I head coaches and ninth in Division I history with 438 victories. Warming is also one of only two
FUTBOl
active coaches in Division I to take two different programs to the
College Cup.
Warming, whose distinguished career spans 35 years, came to
Happy Valley from Creighton University, where he took over a previously dormant program and developed it into a conference and
regional power and national title contender.
In 14 total years in Omaha, served in two different stints (1990-94,
2001-09), Warming, the winningest coach in program history, led the
Bluejays to 190 victories, seven Missouri Valley Conference regular
season and tournament championships, 11 NCAA Championship
appearances, and the 2002 College Cup. His teams proved nearly
unbeatable at home, compiling a 107-18-15 record in Omaha. In
recognition of his dominance in league play, Warming, a three-time
Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year honoree, was named
the MVC All-Centennial Team Coach in 2006.
An ardent believer in giving back through charitable works, Warming’s 2009 Creighton squad won the community service award for
performing over 1,500 hours of volunteer activities, including working on Habitat for Humanity projects, reading to elementary school
students, and helping out at hospitals. Warming has also served as
the honorary chairman of the Boy Scouts of America for Nebraska
and as the honorary chairman of the Omaha Children’s Crisis Center
annual fund raiser.
Warming has not only built successful teams on the field, but also
assisted with the design, fundraising, and construction management
of three collegiate soccer stadiums, including, most recently, the $13
million, 6,000-seat, state-of-the-art Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium at Creighton. He and his winning teams helped fill the stands
at Morrison Stadium, as Creighton led the MVC and ranked in the
NCAA top 10 in attendance each of his last seven seasons in Omaha.
In honor of significant contributions made to the athletic program
at the university, Warming was inducted into the Creighton Athletics
Hall of Fame in April 2011, becoming just the seventh head coach to
earn the honor in its 43-year history.
In between his tenures at Creighton, Warming served as head

Transylvania University (1976). His career coaching record stands at
an impressive 438-209-75 (.659).
Warming has also produced numerous professional prospects, as
at least one of his players has been selected in every MLS SuperDraft or supplemental draft. He has seen a total of 28 of his players
drafted since the league’s inception in 1996. Most recently, John
Gallagher was selected with the 30th pick in the second round of the
2013 MLS Supplemental Draft. In 2011, Corey Hertzog was selected
by the New York Red Bulls with the No. 13 pick in the first round of
the SuperDraft, while Drew Cost was a supplemental draft choice of
Real Salt Lake.
A 1975 graduate of Berea College (Ky.), Warming was a four-sport
varsity letterwinner, starring on the golf, swimming, tennis, and soc-
cer teams. As a starting goalkeeper, he posted a 28-2-2 record.
Warming also holds a master’s of science degree in sport administration from Eastern Kentucky University.
Warming and his wife, Cindy, have four children - Emily, Bess, and
twins Grant and the late Audrey. Grant played for four seasons at
Penn State (2010-13).
