In 2006, the Bucknell Department of Athletics and Recreation announced its new “Bison Good Sports!” campaign, a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events.

The objective of the campaign, according to Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt “is to thank fans for the tremendous energy and enthusiasm they bring to each Bucknell athletics contest while also empowering them as caretak-ers of the collegiate gameday experience. While the extremes of unwanted behavior and its impact on home and visiting fans are not commonplace at Bison athletics events, Bucknell and our visiting teams ask for our fans’ help in keeping their support of our teams positive and cheer with positive encouragement, rather than supporting an atmosphere of intimidation that attempts to degrade opposing players and teams. We hope that our fans will continue to join our players, coaches and staff in helping

all spectators find creative and ingenious ways to positively support our Bucknell student-athletes.”

Be a Bison

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University.

Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics.

Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athlet-ics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience.

At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

What it means to

“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.”

— Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth,

written in 1910

Bucknell Bison Athleticssetting the stAndArd of excellence

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to gradua-tion rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal.

• According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates twice, and in the most recent survey in the fall of 2011, Bucknell ranked No. 4 in the nation.

• Bucknell has claimed a league-high 127 Patriot League Scholar-Ath-letes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

• A total of 390 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Hon-or Roll in 2011-12 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 252 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the fall 2011 semester.

• In addition to the 121 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 329 Academic All-District honor-ees over the same span, including 15 in 2011-12.

• Bucknell has earned 91 Patriot League championships in 22 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 113 conference players of the year, 99 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 533 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

• 24 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2012.

• Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 17 times in the 22-year history of the affiliation, including 13 of the last 15 years.

• Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of Capital One Academic All-Amer-ica selections with 121.

• A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excel-lence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olym-pic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, a new Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

Bucknell Bison AthleticsA nAtionAl Model in ProMoting the scholAr-Athlete ideAl

Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place.

FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by pro-moting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally.

SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is intro-duced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena.

ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice.

LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for pro-moting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body.

BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, this program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features pro-gramming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.


With five lost to graduation and five incoming freshmen, Bucknell vol-leyball can easily be described as being full of potential. Head coach Cindy Opalski has even termed 2012 a rebuilding year, but that doesn’t mean the Bison expect anything but an upward trajectory. Nine of Buck-nell’s 17 roster spots go to juniors or seniors, and all the Bison have a clear understanding of what it will take to put them in the Patriot League mix this fall.

“Having five seniors graduate and a lot of really of young people on the team is going to put us in a position that’s a little unique,” said Opal-ski, who is entering her 23rd season on Bucknell’s sideline. “The rebuild-ing process is exciting because we have a lot of potential, a lot of talent. Whenever you lose a big class in positions across the board, you always are trying to assess who’s going to step up into those positions. Our spring was outstanding in terms of our sophomore class stepping up into those starting positions.”

Among the starters Bucknell is looking to replace are Anne Ellen-berger, Kyleigh McAhren and Emily Sawanobori. Ellenberger led the team in blocks a year ago, while Sawanobori was the digs leader and McAhren was second in kills. As a unit, the Class of 2012 accounted for better than 30 percent of Bucknell’s kills and digs and more than 83 percent of its total blocks.

Despite the losses, Opalski sees blocking and a quick offense as two of the Bison’s key strengths. Evidence of that comes in the two senior captains, Kebah Edoho and Kat Tauscher. With 53 blocks last season, Edoho is Bucknell’s leading returning blocker. The total was also a strong improvement on her career numbers as she had just 58 blocks for her first two campaigns in the Orange and Blue combined. The Odenton, Md., native also had an offensive breakthrough in 2011 when she put up 134 kills, giving her 216 for her career.

“Kebah’s athleticism is as good as anybody else’s in the league,” praised Opalski. “Our goal is to try to get her the ball a little bit more this year. She needs to be a consistent part of our offensive attack and get more swings. Kebah can be our most effective terminator.”

Helping to ensure that happens is Tauscher, Bucknell’s reigning start-ing setter with 643 assists on her 2011 stat sheet. Known for her consis-tency on the court, Tauscher also brings steady leadership in all arenas that will be invaluable as the Bison seek to fulfill their potential. Junior Rose Lewis, who connects well with the middle attacker, is expected to team up with Tauscher in a two-setter system and give Bucknell several different looks to its offense.

Among those who will reap the benefits of Tauscher’s and Lewis’ setting are junior outside hitters Morgan Mientus, Jessica Serrato and Kirst-en Titley. Serrato led the team in kills (197) and kills per set (2.59) a year ago. With 104 digs as well, Serrato and Mientus (131 kills-103 digs) were Bucknell’s only two players to reach the 100-100 mark in kills and digs.

“They all bring something a little different to the table,” Opalski explained. “Morgan’s extremely good at seeing the block. She’s consistent both on the offensive and defensive ends of the game. Jes-sica is really athletic. She has great jumping abil-ity. Kristen’s the most consistent. She’s effective in the front row, back row and serving. We’ve gotten her to be more aggressive, to take more chances, and I think that really showed in the spring.”

The Bison coaching staff, which includes Anna Allison, who is entering her eighth season at Bucknell, and first-year assistant Caitlin Rimgaila, also anticipate solid front line contributions from sophomore Amanda Hall. Consistency gave Hall 18 kills over 22 sets and a team-best .368 attack percentage in her rookie campaign.

“She’s deceptively smooth at attacking. We’re just trying to her to be a little more aggressive and faster, but interestingly enough she still scores points,” said Opalski. “She’s the kind of player that finds ways to score points when she’s up front.”

One of the challenges facing Bucknell in 2012 will be its defensive production. Increasing that production was a priority during the team’s spring training and keeping up the progress will fall large-

ly on the shoulders of Leylin Marroquin, Kellye Zobrist and Kadri Lutter. Each has her own strengths with Marroquin, the team’s leading returner in digs (148), bringing consistency to the table, Zobrist adding aggressiveness to the libero/defensive specialist position and Lutter being a presence off the bench.

“All three of them also have a really effective serve, which really adds to our game,” Allison added. “Being in their position, I think the serve will add to our offen-sive game because it’s almost like it’s an attack. It puts the other team in a position of having to pass a hard ball, and all three of them can be great strategic players for us in that regard.”

The Bison will call on Hannah Young and Sarah Morris to help shore up the defensive effort at the net.

“Hannah has really done a commendable job blocking,” lauded Opalski. “Her blocking ability is something that we’re going to look for to give us a little energy and enthusiasm to start our offense because she really does a nice job in terms of her height and timing.”

Opalski complimented Young’s offensive game as well, which she says has “come alive,” while also praising Morris’ all-around improvement. Morris’ contributions came primar-ily on the practice court last season, but her blocking ability makes her a contender for playing time on the right side in 2012.

“She’s an outstanding blocker,” said Opalski. “She has terrific block technique and timing. She gets good height on the ball and surrounds the ball well.”

Bucknell’s newest faces – Karen Campbell, Kristen Gelenitis, Claire Healy, Katie Price and Meghan Wentzel – won’t have to wait long to get a good taste of collegiate volleyball. The Bison, whose schedule includes in-state competition such as La Salle, Robert Morris and Duquesne, as well as West Coast powerhouses CSU Bakersfield and Pepperdine, will call early on those freshmen’s history of success at the high school and club levels. Leading the

group of newcomers is Campbell, whom Opalski calls a “program-maker.”

“Karen’s a strong player and extremely athletic. She’s very versatile. She does things on the court that our juniors and sophomores are doing right now,” said Opalski. “She needs to get a little more aggressive and acclimate herself to the speed of the college game, but I think it will be a really short learning curve.”

Healy also brings versatility to the team as well as a willingness to swing away at the net and an en-ergy that will be a boon to the Bison at the outside and right side positions. Although undersized for a middle blocker, Gelenitis makes her impact by being fast off the ground. That speed is expected to pay dividends as Bucknell transitions into a faster offense than it has had in past seasons.

Known for her selfless play, Price will vie for play-ing time as the libero and will contribute some of those all-important intangibles to the squad.

“Katie is the ultimate team player. She puts as much energy into her team as she puts into herself,” commented Opalski. “She does a nice job defensively. She’s consistent, but it’s that energy, that positive tem-perament that surrounds everybody else on the court.”

Wentzel comes to Bucknell following three consec-utive state titles in high school and will give the Bison another option at setter. The native of San Anselmo, Calif., has also had great success at the club level, and her experience running complex offenses will compli-ment the veteran efforts of Tauscher and Lewis.

“Meghan improves every day and has been very receptive to the challenges we have put before her,” said Opalski.

The Bison begin their season on the road at the La Salle Invitational Aug. 25-26 before eventually opening at Davis Gym for the Bucknell Tournament Sept. 14-15 against Fordham, Providence and Quinnipiac. Patriot League play gets underway at Lafayette on Sept. 21.

Quoting the Bison

Rose LewisA Student-Athlete Perspective “When I came to my first Bucknell volleyball preseason, Coach made a lasting impact on me when she announced to the team that we were going to be pushed out of our comfort zone. And that I’ve been! But at the same time I have become a part of a family away from home. I can’t wait for two more exciting seasons! ”

Sarah MorrisOn Life at Bucknel l“Bucknell has been my home since I fin-ished first semester my freshman year. I love my team, I love my coaches, and I love the life-long friends I have made here.”

Amanda HallOn Moving to Bucknel l from the West Coast“I always knew that I wanted to go to college on the East Coast, and that played a huge part in my decision to come to Bucknell. On my official visit for volleyball, the team was really nice and welcoming to me, and the class I attended was really interesting, too. I liked both the academic and athletic aspects of this school, and I couldn’t be happier that I’m here now!”

The Davis Gym hardwood was recently refinished and painted with volley-ball boundaries as its primary color scheme. The team’s spacious locker room and coaches offices are located just off the main playing floor. A new scoreboard was added in 2007, as well.

“With a tenacious work ethic and a lot of determination, Kristen should feel right at home running a fast and diverse offensive attack in the Bison front court. Although she is a slightly undersized middle attacker and blocker, Kristen’s speed and transition game should motivate our big people to step up their game right away.”

“We’ve strongly encouraged San Francisco’s Player of the Year to bring all the aggressiveness and tenacity she dis-played at Saint Ignatius College Prep to Bucknell. Claire’s experience with an experienced Absolute VBC should pay back some big dividends as she challenges for an opportu-nity to take some big swings on the outside this fall.”

“We’ve had the good fortune to coach numerous players who have played in a Junior Olympics National Champion-ship, but only Katie has ever won one. Katie’s tenacity and work ethic are her best attributes. Given her experience, we hope her competitiveness raises the bar for our exist-ing liberos as we compete for another Patriot League title.”

“Meghan has the capacity to connect with her hitters in a profound way as evidenced by leading her team to three CIF state championships. She is consistent, creative and can run a fast and diverse offensive attack. Meghan is a natural leader who holds the all-time assist record at The Branson School in northern California.”


The resurgence of Bucknell’s volleyball program can be traced directly to Cindy Opalski’s arrival in 1990. Granted the turnaround didn’t come overnight, but after a couple of years of growing pains and some energetic recruiting efforts, Opalski has transformed the Bison volleyball program into one of the top programs in the East. Bucknell made NCAA Tournament appearances in both 1998 and 2000 and has averaged more than 15 victories since 1993.

Under Opalski the Bison were recognized as the most improved team in the nation by Volleyball Monthly in 1993; recorded the best record in school history in 1995 at 26-7; won the first-ever Patriot League automatic bid to the 1998 NCAA Tournament; and in 2003 posted a school-record 11 Patriot League wins en route to a second-place finish. The Bison have qualified for the PL Tournament in 19 of 22 years in the league under Opalski, who has been named the Patriot League Coach of the Year in 1995, 2000 and 2003.

Opalski won her 300th career match in 2004, and with 395 career victories is the fourth-winningest active volleyball coach in the Patriot League. In 2011, Opalski won her 300th match as coach of the Bison when Bucknell defeated Coppin State in four sets at Davis Gym.

Now in her 27th season as a collegiate head coach, Opalski wrote essentially the same script at Clarion University. In her four years there (1986-1989), Opalski led Clarion to a record of 92-48 and the school’s first-ever conference title in 1988. She was selected as the American Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year in the Atlantic Region, and Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year during her tenure.

Opalski graduated from Southern Connecticut State in 1977 and earned a Master of Science degree from that school in 1984. A savvy outside hitter for the Owls, she played in two AIAW national tournaments and captained the squad in her senior year. From 1979 through 1985 as head coach at Maloney High School in her native Meriden, Conn., Opalski led that school to two state titles. Her resume there included six undefeated regular seasons and an eye-popping overall record of 147-11. Opalski’s success in vol-leyball has been documented by her 2006 induction as a player to the F.T. Maloney High School Hall of

Fame and as a coach in the Connecticut Scholastic Women’s Volleyball Hall of Fame soon afterwards.

Opalski worked with the U.S. Volleyball Junior Olympic Program in the 1980s, coaching the Connecticut team at numerous national qualifiers. For five years she coached and trained some of the top players that have ever come out of the Nutmeg State as well as several teams that qualified for the USVBA National tournament.

During the summer, Opalski serves as a technical consultant at numer-ous volleyball camps throughout the East, in addition to directing the Bentley College and Kutztown University Volleyball camps.

Anna Allison begins her eighth season as a member of the Bison vol-leyball coaching staff this fall. A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and a member of a prominent volleyball family, Allison is a 2004 graduate of Oral Roberts University, where she was one of the top setters in Golden Eagles’ his-tory. In 2006, she helped guide former Bucknell setter Shannon Pitsch to a school single-season record total in assists (1,199), which ranked first in the Patriot League, and eventually the career record (3,597) as well.

Allison was a First Team All-Mid Continent Conference selection three times and was named Setter of the Year in 2000 and 2002. As a senior in 2002 she shattered the Oral Roberts

career assists record as well as the Mid-Con career service aces record. Oral Roberts won four straight league titles and played in four NCAA Tournaments during her playing days. A two-time team captain, Allison was also an outstanding student and earned Scholar-Athlete honors while successfully complet-ing degrees in advertising and marketing communications.

A lifelong student of the sport of volleyball, Allison’s enthusiasm and commitment to the game was influenced by her father, Antonio Carlos Moreno, who played for the Brazilian national team for 16 years and participated in four Olympic Games. Anna’s twin brother, Carlos, was an All-America setter who earned AVCA Player of the Year honors while leading BYU to the 2004 NCAA men’s national championship.

In 2003-04 Allison served as graduate assistant coach at Oral Roberts, where she worked closely with the Golden Eagles’ setters and assisted in scouting and recruiting. Throughout her undergraduate career she coached the ORU Club team, featuring players aged 12 to 18, as well as the 16-18 Tulsa Volleyball Club. In her native Brazil, Allison was a regular coach at the S.P. Volleyball Camp and has worked as director, recruiting manager and coach with the Moreno Corp. Over the summers, she has served on the staff of the Gold Medal Square Camp as well as the Bentley College Camp.

“Our team and future recruiting classes will clearly benefit from Anna’s vast international experience and technical knowledge of the game,” said Cindy Opalski at the time of Allison’s hiring. “Her technical knowledge will benefit our setters and enhance our offensive production. I believe that she is one of the best young coaches in the country.”

Rimgaila joins the Bison having coached most recently at Pope John Paul II High School in Royersford, Pa., where she led the squad to a top-10 state ranking.

As a student-athlete at St. John’s, Rimgaila captained the Red Storm to an undefeated conference run in 2006. The same year, the team achieved a top-25 national ranking for the first time in program history and she was named Second Team All-BIG EAST.

Off the court, Rimgaila was named the 2006 BIG EAST/Aeropostale Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She was also a three-time selection as a BIG EAST Academic All-Star and to the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society for student-athletes. She capped off her career with a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection as a senior. She also co-founded STAR (Students Teaching Athletes Responsibility) at St. John’s.

Since graduating with a degree in communication science and a minor in business administration, Rimgaila has served as head coach at Pope John Paul II and with the Synergy Volleyball Club and Philadelphia Volleyball Academy. Her coaching experience also includes stints as an assistant at The Agnes Irwin School (Pa.) and SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology.

Athletics Mission Statement

The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher educa-tion, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University.

The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek.

Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, develop-ment, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell.

The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell.

A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.


Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 24 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate,

Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. Boston University will join the Patriot League as a full member beginning in the 2013-14 season. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 84 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competi-tive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.

During the 2011-12 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accomplished the following:

• In the latest release of NCAA Academic Progress Rate, 94 percent of Patriot League teams scored at or above the national Division I four-year average score of 973.

• 79 Patriot League teams, and 84 overall from full-member institutions, earned Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA for finishing in the top 10 percent of all teams in the most recent four-year APR scores.

• Navy won the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the first time in school history, and also won the women’s title. Lehigh edged the Mids for the men’s crown.

• Lehigh, a No. 15 seed, defeated No. 2 Duke 75-70 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game on March 16. The victory is up for a “best upset” award for the ESPYs.

• Colgate’s Peter Baum became the first player in Patriot League history to win the Tewaaraton Award as the top collegiate lacrosse player, and also claimed the Lt. Enners Award for the same distinction.

• Colgate’s Elise DeRoo was named the Patriot League Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while Army’s Brendan Buckley won the Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.

• DeRoo was also one of two nominees from the Patriot League for the NCAA Woman of the Year award, along with Navy’s Jess Palacio.

• Ten student-athletes were named Capital One Academic All-Ameri-cans, including first-team selections for Army’s Brendan Buckley (lacrosse), Army’s Zach Price (Baseball), Bucknell’s Tim Bolte (Football) and Lehigh’s Jennifer Colquhoun (Softball).

• 48 student-athletes earned Capital One Academic All-District recogni-tion.

The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 23 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 17 times in its 22-year existence, including 13 of the last 15 years.

The Presidents’ Cup is awarded an-nually to the institution that accumulates the highest point total over the entire academic year, with points awarded on the basis of the school’s finish in each of the 23 Patriot League sports. If there is a league tournament in a sport, the points are awarded based on the average of the regular season and tournament finish, and if there is no postseason tournament, points are awarded based on regular-season standings.

All-Time Results

histoRy


Bucknell Athletics Hall of FameKATIE STEELE ’96 is the only Bison volleyball play-er to be named to the All-Patriot League team four times. She was a two-year captain and graduated as the school record-holder in hitting percentage, aces and blocks. Most important, Steele, who was also a Patriot League Scholar-Athlete and Academic All-District selection, is credited for helping turn a strug-gling program into a league power. After compiling a 45-186 record from 1985-92, Bucknell went 63-35 in Steele’s sophomore, junior and senior years. The Bison were the most improved team in the country in 1993, and by Steele’s senior year team finished 26-7 and won its first Patriot League regular-season title with a 6-0 record. She entered the Hall of Fame with the Class of 2007.

MELISSA WHARTON ’98 graduated with 10 school records and is considered one of the best players in program history. She is still the only Bison player to hit .400 in a season, and she did so three times. Wharton recorded a Bucknell and Patriot League-record .445 hitting percentage in 1995 (second-best in the nation that year), and she followed it up by hitting .410 in 1996 and .411 as a senior in 1997. She owns three of the top four single-season hitting percentages in Patriot League history, while her .400 career average is also the school and league record. Wharton’s 1,377 career kills was the school record for 10 years until being surpassed in 2007. She is also the Bucknell and Patriot League career leader in blocks with 631. Wharton was a three-time First Team All-Patriot League selection and earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top senior athlete in her class. She entered the Hall of Fame with the Class of 2009.

The Bucknell University Depart-ment of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excel-lence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 17 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 22 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 121 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 127 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 22 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model.

The Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation ven-ues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success.

The facility enhances each of Buck-nell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its grow-ing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of cam-pus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the stu-dent body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni.

Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Ath-letics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, mod-ern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for var-sity and recreational athletes.

The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell gradu-ate who, along with his wife, Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996.

One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The brand new construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities.

As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the stan-dard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recre-ation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memo-rial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; Depew Field, the home of the Bison baseball team; Becker Field for softball, and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium.

Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where more than 3,500 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For more than 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that

make a difference and have a positive impact on the world.

In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher educa-tion.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University.

The Plan comprises five strategies:

Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation;

Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility;

Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open ex-change to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world;

Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research;

Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources nec-essary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future.

The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been ap-proved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.
