2014 MEN'S SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM CELEBRATION Virginia athletics and the Virginia Athletics Foundation co-hosted a dinner and ring ceremony for the 2014 National Championship men's soccer team on April 18. Several men's soccer alumni and donors to the program attended the event to share their support and enthusiasm. The program featured a welcome by Craig Littlepage, 2014 season and championship highlight videos and spe- cial remarks by head coach George Gelnovatch. The evening concluded with the presentation of the championship rings as Coach Gelnovatch provided thoughtful descriptions about each of the administrators, soccer support staff and team members. The team's amazed reactions as they opened their ring boxes to their coach's countdown were priceless and captured the genuine pride everyone in the room felt for their exceptional accomplishments. Coach Gelnovatch was thrilled to celebrate with his team and share their excitement with alumni and donors. As he reflected on their memorable experience he commented, "What a great night we had celebrating our 2014 National Championship! To reflect back on what it took to make our NCAA championship run and to be able to personally thank the players, coaches, support staff and parents made it a special night for me. Twenty-five years from now when we are back for this Champion- ship reunion we will remember the "all in" commitment and culture that this team and support staff displayed."
