Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the

playing fi elds. 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 in the last 11 years, and it ranked No. 2 in the 2008 study. In the

most recent survey in the fall of 2010, Bucknell ranked No. 7 in the na-

tion.

• Bucknell has claimed a league-high 121 Patriot League Scholar-Ath-

letes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference

in 1990-91.

• A total of 421 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Hon-

or Roll in 2010-11 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their

sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 259 made

the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring of 2011.

• In addition to the 121 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced

since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 322 Academic All-District honor-

ees over the same span, including a school-record 22 in 2008-09 and 21

more in 2010-11.

• With six Patriot League championships in 2010-11, Bucknell has now

earned 87 crowns in 21 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has

had 113 conference players of the year, 93 PL coaches of the year and a

whopping 511 individual league champions from sports such as cross

country, track & fi eld, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

• 25 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in

the fall of 2011.

year and the 17th time overall that the Bison took home the women’s

title. In 2010-11, Bucknell won Patriot League titles in men’s soccer,

men’s basketball, men’s lacrosse, women’s rowing and men’s and wom-

en’s outdoor track & fi eld.

• 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.

Bucknell Bison AthleticsBucknell Bison AthleticsA National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete IdealA National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal

Bucknell Athletics is fi rst 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 fi rst 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 aff ords 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 outfi tted 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 eff orts; 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 “Leadership Summit” is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be eff ective leaders on and off the playing fi elds. The Leadership Academy programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can en-hance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

BUCKNELL DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENTBUCKNELL DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENTTh e Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for

intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University.

Th e Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their fi rst 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. Th e 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, development, 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.

Th e Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramu-ral 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 serious-ness 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 Presidents’ Cup, refl ects positively upon Bucknell’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 op-portunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. Th e Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

Above-.500 Record in Five of Last Seven Years

2012 Bucknell Women’s Water Polo

After enduring its fi rst below-.500 fi nish since 2007 last spring, Bucknell is ready to get back on the winning side this season. It is fi rst-year head coach John McBride’s expectation to bring the team there.

“Th ere is a diff erent kind of intensity being brought to the program and the team seems to be responding very well,” commented McBride, who came to Bucknell last May after seven years as an assistant coach at Brown.

McBride, who guided the Bison men to a strong 15-10 mark in the fall, certainly has high expectations for the squad as he lined up a chal-lenging schedule that features eight teams listed in the preseason na-tional top 10.

“Th e previous coaching staff did a great job recruiting and our fresh-man class is really strong,” praised McBride. “Th is team is loaded with talent. It didn’t always show through last year, but there is a lot of tal-ent.”

In addition to talent, the Bison have plenty of experience with 15 letterwinners and fi ve starters returning. A number of players received playing time last year due to a substitution pattern McBride likened to hockey lines, meaning he has no shortage of veterans to choose from when doling out minutes.

While there is a lot of talent and experience at his disposal, McBride expects to shorten his rotation and have every player fi ll a role.

“In the past, players never really understood what their role was dur-ing a game,” said McBride. “Th ey were all expected to play every posi-tion. We have narrowed it down to more of a role-playing team, where everybody understands what they have to do when they enter the water.”

McBride thinks the defi ned roles and a stronger focus on defensive intensity will lead to positive results and more consistent play.

“Th e one thing noticeable and surprising to me is that this team played catch up in every game last year,” mentioned McBride. “Th ey lost the fi rst half of almost every game and spent the entire time trying to catch up. We need a core group fi red up and ready to go at the start so we can go at a faster pace. We need to throw the fi rst punch ourselves.”

Senior co-captains Hallie Kennan and Amanda Skonezney are expect-ed to be the top leaders on the team in addition to being two of the more productive players in the pool. Kennan is the squad’s leading returning scorer, having tallied a team-high 55 goals and career highs in assists (32) and points (87) last season. Th e left-hander ranks 12th in program history in career goals (126) and is tied for 12th in assists (69).

“I expect Hallie to be a leader in the pool, set the example and work hard. Her leadership skills are great and the team really responds when she talks,” said McBride. “I never expect the leading scorer from one year to come back and be the leading scorer again due to the defensive focus changing, but she will still be a key for us on the off ensive end.”

One of the faster swimmers on the team, Skonezney holds the Buck-nell record for career sprints won (145) and is 12th all-time in games started (86) as she enters her fourth year as a starter. A consistent play-er, Skonezney has netted between 22 and 27 goals and 40 and 46 points in each of her fi rst three campaigns.

“Amanda is a huge role player for us,” complimented McBride. “She is physical and very aggressive while giving us an outside threat and the ability to go inside to the center position. Amanda also has a high water polo IQ. She’s just very good at everything.”

Sophomore Julianne Valdes was one of three Bison to tally at least 80 points last year, along with Kennan and two-time Honorable Men-tion All-American Kandis Canonica, who has since graduated. Th at trio combined for 145 of the squad’s 319 goals (45.5%), 115 of 242 assists (47.5%) and 260 of 561 points (46.3%), with Valdes contributing 47 goals, 38 assists and 85 points. She earned the team’s Rookie of the Year Award, drew 42 ejections and was named the CWPA Western Division Rookie of the Week twice.

“Julianne is not going to be playing center anymore, but I expect her to be an off ensive and defensive threat,” commented McBride. “I expect her steals to go up. I expect her goals to go up. I expect her to play a lot of minutes. She is a joy to coach and has a great work ethic. If I could take whatever is in her and put it in everyone else, we’d be in great shape.”

While Bucknell does have plenty of off ensive fi repower returning with fi ve players who netted at least 22 goals last year back with an additional year of experience, McBride knows the team will win games on the de-fensive end. Luckily he has the luxury of two experienced goalies on his roster to anchor that defense. Senior Brittany Connell and sophomore Rena Heim split time in cage nearly equally last year. Connell recorded more saves (126), while Heim’s save percentage of .480 was better. How-ever, McBride expects one of them to win the starting job this year.

“Having two experienced goalies has certainly made practices bet-ter,” remarked McBride. “Both are super competitive and want to be the starter. I explained to both that just because someone isn’t named the starter doesn’t mean they stop. Th e backup will be just one small injury away from becoming the starter.”

Bucknell had a very strong rookie class a year ago, headlined by Val-des. But there were other important cogs, including Mackenzie Ferry, Heather Smith and Stephanie Ovalle. Th at trio combined for 65 goals, 34 assists and 99 points. Smith was a regular member of the starting lineup, while Ferry and Ovalle were valuable reserves.

“We’re trying to move Heather out of the defensive two-meter posi-tion and give that to Becca Shopiro and a couple others,” explained Mc-Bride. “Heather is going to be a much better perimeter defender, where she can use her speed on counter attacks.

“I recruited Mackenzie at Brown, but she came here instead,” men-tioned McBride. “I’m glad I fi nally get to coach her. She could be one of the top players on the East Coast. Th e sky is the limit for her.”

Th at young talent will continue to pair with veterans to form a well-balanced Bison team as Shopiro, a senior, and juniors Shannon Carroll, Krystle Morgan and Tara Murao will fi ll valuable roles. Shopiro is a physi-cal defensive presence, while Morgan tallied 11 goals in eight late-season games last year after missing time with an injury. Carroll was one of eight Bison to appear in all 31 games, while Murao provides energy and toughness, especially on the defensive end.

Bucknell’s 20-person roster also includes fi ve freshmen and McBride thinks the majority of those newcomers will be impact players. Among the most notable rookies is Emily Norton, who is a member of the Bison swimming and diving team and who has two brothers that are on Buck-nell’s men’s water polo squad. Additionally, McBride expects big things from Taylor Barnett, Sayeh Bozorghadad and Barbara Peterson.

John McBrideHEAD COACH

RHODE ISLAND ’92

JJJJJJJJJJHHHHHHRRRRRR

John McBride, who served as an assistant coach at Brown the last seven years, was named the head men’s and women’s water polo coach at Bucknell on May 18, 2011. McBride, a 1992 graduate of Rhode Island who was a four-year starter in goal as a member of the water polo pro-gram, also has an extensive background with the U.S. National Team, serving as head coach of the men’s Northeast Zone Olympic Develop-ment Team since 2009.

Less than a year into his Bucknell tenure, McBride already has plenty of experience coaching the Bison. He guided the Bucknell men to a 15-10 record and a fi fth-place showing at the Eastern Championship this past fall.

While at Brown, McBride helped guide the Bears to unprecedented success. Th e men’s squad captured the 2009 Collegiate Water Polo As-sociation Northern Division title, its fi rst conference crown in nearly 25 years. Additionally, the team went undefeated in regular-season confer-ence play in 2008 and fi nished as high as fourth at the Eastern Champi-onship.

On the women’s side, McBride led the Bears to back-to-back ECAC Championship titles in 2009 and 2010 and a fourth-place fi nish at the Eastern Championship, the best showing at Brown since 2001.

Both the men’s and women’s squads appeared regularly in the na-tional top-20 rankings during McBride’s tenure, which also featured 43 All-Northern Division selections and 22 All-East players. Additionally, three Bears earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Brown’s men’s team has had the highest team grade-point average in the nation for four years, while the women have ranked in the top three nationally four times.

“I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to be the head coach of the men’s and women’s water polo programs at Bucknell,” said McBride at the time of his hiring. “I am looking forward to settling into Lewisburg and getting started with the 2011-12 seasons. Bucknell prides itself on balancing academics and athletics and having coached in a very rigorous academic environment for the last seven years should make the transition much easier. I am very anxious to get on the pool deck and begin coaching the talented student-athletes that are members of both the men’s and women’s programs at Bucknell.”

A goalie on the U.S. National “B” Team in 1993, McBride has become a recognizable face in National Team circles. In addition to his duties as the men’s Northeast Zone Olympic Development Team head coach, he was recently named the head coach of the Southeast Zone Olympic De-velopment Program. McBride has also served as an evaluator and coach at the women’s Speedo Top 40 Camp at Harvard.

Among his many responsibilities with the National Teams, McBride evaluates and coaches the top 16 men from the East Coast to compete for spots on the U.S. National Team. He has also coached regional teams comprised of the best Northern California collegiate players and helps the U.S. Junior National Team Coaches bring the best players to repre-sent the U.S. in international competitions.

An accomplished goalie during his playing days at Rhode Island, Mc-Bride was a three-time First Team All-New England selection and was twice a First Team All-East honoree.

Following his graduation from Rhode Island with a degree in speech communications, McBride attended the Rhode Island Department of Corrections Academy and the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility Cor-rections Academy and eventually graduated from the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy in 1996. He then served as a patrolman and SWAT offi cer for the North Providence Police from 1996 to 2004.

McBride got his start in coaching in 2001 when he founded the New-

First Season First Season • Career Women’s Record: 0-0• Career Men’s Record: 15-10

port Lady Tritons Water Polo Club. He proceeded to coach the club, which was made up of high school-aged players, until 2003. At that time, McBride founded the Ocean State Masters Swim Team, which featured more than 100 athletes who competed in master’s swim meets and triathlons all over the world.

McBride’s most recent start-up project was the Bruno Water Polo Club, which he began as a non-profi t organization in Prov-idence, R.I., in 2007. Th e club gives inner-city youth an opportunity to enjoy the sport of water polo.

McBride and his wife, Sam, have two daughters, Grace (11) and Lily (9).

CWPA INFORMATIONCWPA INFORMATION

Th e Collegiate Water Polo Association originally began as the Mid-Atlantic Conference, founded by Dick Russell (Bucknell University swimming & water polo coach) in the 1970s. Its founding membership included teams from Mary-land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

Th e leadership and management of the organization relied on volunteer coaches until 1990, when it hired a commissioner to perform basic scheduling

for the 15 member teams. Offi ciating assignments at the time were performed by an independent organization called the

Eastern Water Polo Referees Association.Th e next major milepost occurred in 1993, when

the Southern and New England Conferences merged into the Mid

Atlantic. Th e new structure com-bined all of the varsity teams in the East, along with the few sport clubs in existence at that time.

During the 1995 season, the conference received its fi rst major challenge, as the organization experi-enced a strike by its offi ciating corps. Th is strike ultimately resulted in the or-ganization establishing its own offi ciating bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its offi ciating assignments. Th e conference hired Tere Ma as its inaugural Director of Offi cials and Loren Bertocci as its fi rst Technical Director. Th ese two individuals laid the groundwork for the Offi ciating Bureau that exists today.

Today the CWPA is the largest water polo conference in the country with teams in 75% of the states nationwide. Including both intercollegiate varsity competition and club competition, it stands as the only conference of this type. Due to its breadth and infl uence, the conference plays a pivotal role in the sport of water polo today, which will only increase in the future as it continues to grow.

Bucknell is a member of the CWPA Southern Division along with Brown, George Washington, Harvard, Mercyhurst and Princeton.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY RECEIVES MAJOR BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY RECEIVES MAJOR DONATION FROM DAN AND CHRISDONATION FROM DAN AND CHRIS

RICHARDS TO BOLSTER MEN’S ANDRICHARDS TO BOLSTER MEN’S ANDWOMEN’S WATER POLO PROGRAMSWOMEN’S WATER POLO PROGRAMS

Th e men’s and women’s water polo programs at Bucknell University will be greatly bolstered thanks to a $1.5 million commitment made by Dan ‘78 and Chris (Peterjohn ‘76) Richards in the summer of 2009. Th e pledge was made in honor of Coach Dick Russell, who was at the helm of the swimming and div-ing programs from 1968 to 1994 and created the water polo program at Buck-nell, coaching the men’s team from its inception as a varsity sport in 1977 until 1986. Mr. and Mrs. Richards were swimmers under Coach Russell during their years at Bucknell.

As the Richards’ multi-year pledge is paid, an endowment will be built that generates funds to enhance Bucknell’s men’s and women’s varsity water polo programs by increasing and stabilizing the resources available for the coaches, staff and student-athletes. Th e Russell Endowment will provide a lasting me-morial honoring the lifetime contributions of the late Hall of Fame mentor to Bucknell’s varsity water polo and swimming and diving programs. It will com-plement a similar endowment established for the swimming and diving pro-grams in 2002 by William D. Dearstyne ‘62 to honor former coach and director of athletics Bob Latour, and further underscores the successful tradition of the varsity aquatics programs at Bucknell.

MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE

Dan ‘78 and Chris (Peterjohn ‘76) Richards have created a matching chal-lenge program for friends, fans and alumni of Bucknell water polo and swim-ming and diving to help increase long-term support for these varsity sports and honor former Bison coach Dick Russell.

Up to a limit of $250,000, the Richards will accelerate payment of their multi-year $1.5 million pledge to the new “Russell Endowment” by matching qualifying gifts and pledges made by others, as follows:

1. Qualifying gifts and pledges made by individual donors, of...2. at least $5,000 to an endowment fund named to honor Coach Dick Russell in support of the water polo and/or swimming and diving programs,3. paid on or before June 30, 2012, plus...4. corporate matching gifts resulting from qualifi ed gifts and payments made by individual donors...5. ...will be matched by accelerated pledge payments from Dan and Chris Richards into the Russell Endowment no later than Dec. 31 of the second year following the year in which the qualifi ed gift or payment is received• Contact Todd Newcomb (570-577-1771; [email protected]) with questions
