It's The Terps!

We Are the Champions!

The 2008 ACC Champs became the 2008 College Cup Champs with a win over ACC rival UNC.

The match was a spirited one between two teams very familiar with each other, as each set to secure the College Cup Crown.

Congratulations to K Dorm Alum - Zac MacMath (91-GK) and his Maryland teammates - 2008 College Cup Champs!

Hats off to K Dorm Alum Alex Dixon (90 - F/M), Billy Schuler (90 - M/F), Kirk Urso (90 - M), Sheanon Williams (90 - D/F) and the Tarheels in their impressive run this season culminating as College Cup Finalists!

Til next time...

It's ACC All the Way!

The verdict is in...It's an ALL ACC College Cup Final!

In the 1st match, in what has to be an amazing upset, UNC (the 13th seed) defeated Wake Forest (the 1st seed). UNC displayed an early sense of urgency and maintained their composure to render the upset over Wake and advance to the Final. What a sweet sense of revenge for the earlier loss during the regular season!

In the 2nd match, Maryland persevered after over 104 minutes of play to defeat St Johns in double OT, sending the Terps into the Final. St. John's bid to represent the Big East in the Final ended when a spectacular free kick by Maryland's Zusi found the back of the net.

Now that the Final has been decided, predictions anyone? Will Maryland continue it's phenomenal winning streak? Or will UNC avenge their regular season loss to Maryland (as they did with Wake) and claim the College Cup Championship?

There is no doubt that 1) The match should be very exciting and 2) K Dorm Alum(s) and teammates will be 2008 College Cup Champs!

BTW - Kudos to Nic Millington (91 -M), Daniel Wenzel (90 - D) and their Deacon Demons teammates on a stellar season - Wire-to-Wire #1 ranking with only 2 losses!



Til next time...

Predictions Anyone?

The teams have arrived and the stage is set for the 2008 College Cup Semifinals which take place tomorrow.

Predictions Anyone?

Will we see an all ACC Final or will St. John's continue to impress making it an ACC-Big East Final?

The Final teams are yet to be decided, however one thing is clear:

K Dorm Alum will be participating in the Final and may even be declared 2008 College Cup Champs - Way to Go Guys!!!!


Til next time...

And then there were 4...

The following K-Dorm Alum and their teammates have secured a trip to Dallas to play for the College Cup Championship:

Alex Dixon (90 - F/M - UNC #22)
Zac MacMath (91 - GK - Maryland #1)
Nic Millington (91 -M - Wake Forest #15)
Billy Schuler (90 - M/F - UNC #10)
Kirk Urso (90 - M - UNC #18)*
Daniel Wenzel (90 - D - Wake Forest #20)

Sheanon Williams (90 - D/F - UNC #20)

This years Final Four features an unprecedented 3 teams from the ACC.

*Special kudos to Kirk Urso who scored the match winning goal, sending his team to the Final Four!

Great Way to represent K-Dorm. Congratulations and Best of Luck in Dallas!

BTW - Hats off to Aubrey Perry (91-D) and the USF Bulls on one of the most successful season's in school history...

Lessons Learned - Hopefully - Carlos Martinez

Recently a future E Dorm Alum - Carlos Martinez - '92 was released from the U17 Residency Program and sent home due to displinary reasons.

See article below:

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=579660&sec=us&root=us&cc=5901

Unfortunately it apears that there has been "at least one" such incident with every class of residency participants (i.e. someone being sent home for disciplinary reasons).

One school of thought is that "teenage boys will be teenage boys" especially away from home (and Mom and Dad). The other school of thought is that "the rules are there for a reason and must be respected and followed" (regardless of how talented one may be).

No matter which school of thought one believes, let's hope that for the individuals involved, the LESSONS have been LEARNED!

What Exactly is "K Dorm"?

I've gotten numerous emails asking me "What exactly is K Dorm?"

K Dorm was the U17 MNT Residency apartments on IMG Academy's campus, where the guys lived during their time in residency.

IMG Academy converted time-share apartments (2BR/2B) into dormitory style quarters for the US Soccer U17 Residency participants. In each apartment there were usually 6 players - 4 in the master bedroom and 2 in the smaller bedroom. Each player had their own bunk bed, drawer and personal locker located in the living room area.

All of the US Soccer U17 Residency participants lived in the 2-story K building affectionately called "K Dorm" and were its sole occupants. The unit also had it's own training/equipment room (below) located on the ground floor. K Dorm is located around back near the clay tennis courts.

This year the US Soccer U17 Residency participants have moved to "E Dorm" which is closer to the cafeteria.

Now you know!
