After a promising 2001 season, Brian Woods added to his vastsoccer knowledge with some things he saw during spring practice.The mix, he hopes, will deliver William Paterson to the top of theNew Jersey Athletic Conference.

The 11th year coach, whopossesses cross-countrysoccer connectionsthanks to his involvementwith New Jersey-basedMatch Fit Academy,infused his program withtalented newcomers fromas far away as Califor-nia and Virginia inaddition to prospectsfrom the Garden State.

“I saw them play intournaments around thecountry. All of thetravelling I did paid off,”said Woods, whose teamwent 8-9 (3-6 NJAC) in2001.

For this season, he alsoplans to switch the Pioneers’ plan of attack. The Pioneers will gowith a 5-3-2 formation after seeing how his returning playersembraced it while scrimmaging against Division I programsduring the spring.

“It worked out well,” Woods said. “We were getting peopleforward in the spring. In the 5-3-2, the midfield guys don’tnecessarily have a marking responsibility. And with our speed inthe midfield, it makes it tough for opponents to mark our guys.”

The midfield is the strength of the 2002 Pioneers, with two of thetop talents in the NJAC returning in senior Mike Guerdat (8 goals,

3 assists) andsophomore CarlosOrtiz (3 goals).Guerdat, a secondteam National SoccerCoaches Associationof America (NSCAA)All-Metro Regionperformer, tallied fourgame-winning goalsas a forward lastseason, but Woodsthinks his scoringskills are better suitedto playing the

midfield.Meanwhile Ortiz, a secondteam All-NJAC and thirdteam NSCAA All-MidAtlantic Region honoree,established himself as a fleet-footed playmaker during hisrookie season. Junior DaveSzeller is an experiencedhand with solid offensiveskills.

Three other newcomers alsofactor into the midfield mix:Sophomore Marvin Ochoa ofArlington, VA, and freshmenEvrim Can of Ridgefield andDaniel Walker, a PresidentialScholar who hails from

Walnut Creek, CA.

Playing in front of them at forward will be junior Jason Irizarryand sophomore David Lloyd. Irizarry could also play in themidfield and on defense, although he is also a clutch goal scorer.Lloyd, meanwhile, appears poised for a breakthrough season aftera strong spring. Sophomore Eric Kinckle, a speedy transfer fromMiddlesex County College, will push for playing time and couldenable Irizarry to shore upother areas on the pitch.

Defensively, the Pioneersreturn senior Jeff Mantzand sophomore RobertVoltz, both of whomenjoyed solid 2001campaigns with Voltzemerging late and Mantzevolving into a leader.Freshmen Mike Charles ofTeaneck and AndrewBarlow will challenge forstarting assignments. Lookfor Irizarry to also seesome time along thebackline as well.

At goalkeeper, junior ChrisAuriano and sophomoreMike Fedorczyk split timein 2001 and combined for a 1.29 goals against average and fourshutouts. However, the incumbents will face a challenge fromjunior Graeham Watts of El Sobrante, CA.

A coach with numerous connections in the local, regional andnational soccer communities, Brian Woods has demonstrated theability to coach and recruit during his 11 years at WilliamPaterson. Of course, none of this is surprising considering his vastbackground.

A standout at Belleville High School, he was a four-year starterand a four time All-New Jersey Athletic Conference selection whileleading a Trenton State team ranked among the nation’s elite. Healso played football at his alma mater, but he made a name forhimself on the pitch. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree incorporate fitness in 1987 and was an assistant coach at TrentonState until 1991.

That’s when he came to William Paterson.

After enduring a tough first season in which the Pioneers went 1-18, he quickly righted things by recruiting solid student-athletes ashis squad became a competitive squad in the tough NJAC. Woodsalso helped start the Pioneers’ women’s soccer program, whichbegan as a club sport in 1993. He coached the men and womenfrom 1994-97 before deciding to concentrate solely on coachingthe men’s team. During his 10-year tenure, he has posted a 76-94-9 record, including three consecutive winning seasons from1995-97 that featured an invitation to the Eastern CollegiateAthletic Conference (ECAC) New York-New Jersey regionaltournament in 1995.

Besides his work with William Paterson, Woods is the head coachof the Match Fit Academy team and the president of the CollegeSoccer Association of New Jersey. In addition, he has coached theBoys and Girls Olympic Development Program and the NewJersey Lady Stallions, and was also an evaluator for the U.S.Region I Boys and Girls soccer teams.
