Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accomodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulk-heads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swim-ming to occur.

Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands.

Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility, which has been open since 2003, has also served as host of six Patriot League Swim-ming and Diving Championships, the 2004 Eastern Women’s Water Polo Championship and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium. In the fall of 2010 the CWPA Men’s Water Polo Eastern Championship took place inside the gorgeous facility.

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell Univer-sity. 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 athletics, 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 uphold-ing the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a chal-lenging 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 do-ing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

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 2012, Bucknell ranked No. 2 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 392 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, 266 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring 2012 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.

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 programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experi-ences 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.

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. In addition, 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.

season PreviewThanks to the return of four of the team’s top five scorers from a year ago

and another year of growth by junior goalie Rena Heim, second-year Bucknell head coach John McBride expects plenty of improvement from the Bison in his second year at the helm.

A year ago Bucknell posted 15 wins, finished in fourth place at the South-ern Championships and took home an eighth-place certificate from the Eastern Championship. This spring, McBride thinks a top-two showing at Southerns, a top-four finish at Easterns and a spot in the final national top-20 poll are attain-able goals.

There is no reason to doubt McBride, who already led the Bison men’s team to the school’s first-ever Southern Championships crown and its first appear-ance in an Eastern Championship title game in 20 years this past fall.

The women’s season actually began a little early this year. Just prior to the start of second semester classes the entire team took a week-long training trip to Trinidad.

“The Trinidad trip was great for team bonding,” mentioned McBride. “They came back from Trinidad a tighter group. They were stuck on an island and forced to get along or not get along. We came back with 19 women who really enjoy being around each other and are ready to play for each other.”

Bucknell’s other advantage this spring is the fact the majority of the players on the team have already spent a year in McBride’s system.

“Last year they had to learn my system and philosophy but this year they already know what to expect, so nothing is a shock,” said McBride. “It’s been much easier this year. We haven’t had to condition as much, so we’ve been able to focus right away on water polo and what we’re trying to accomplish.”

The success of the Bison will likely hinge on the performance of returning all-conference players Taylor Barnett and Julianne Valdes, as well as Heim.

Barnett, the CWPA Southern Division Rookie of the Year, made an immedi-ate impact as a freshman last spring. She tallied a team-high 67 goals and drew a team-high 81 ejections to place in the top five on the program’s single-season lists for both categories. A starter in 37 games a year ago, Barnett tied the Buck-nell record for goals in a game (7) against George Washington.

McBride expects to use Barnett in a utility role in 2013, rather than the center position she played a year ago.

“Taylor went from being a full-time perimeter player in high school and club to being a very productive center for us,” explained McBride. “We have brought in another center and it will allow Taylor to be more dynamic and play additional positions, which will certainly help us out. She should do even better this year than last.”

Valdes, a team co-captain along with Krystle Morgan, will continue to do what she has done her first two years as a Bison - score points. The Miami, Fla.,

native posted 47 goals and 85 points as a freshman and followed that with a 57-goal, 106-point performance last spring. Valdes enters her junior campaign having scored at least one point in 27 consecutive games. She also ranks eighth in program history in ejections drawn (94).

“JV is a workhorse. A grinder. A good leader in the pool,” praised McBride, a seven-year assistant at Brown prior to landing his current position. “She is going to get her points and make plays. She is reliable and is never going to have a bad game. We are confident she won’t make many mistakes and she will always find a way to get things done.”

While Barnett and Valdes combined for more than one-third of Bucknell’s 353 goals in 2012, Heim was at the back of the defense trying to prevent scores by the opponents. She beat out veteran Brittany Connell for the starting goal-keeper spot and had a strong season. The Mohnton, Pa., native registered 279 saves in 34 games played, more than doubling her freshman-year total and plac-ing her second on Bucknell’s single-season list.

“It was a tough situation for Rena last year being a sophomore starting over a senior, but I had confidence in her,” said McBride about the only goalie on the 2013 Bison roster. “She worked hard in the offseason. She’s working hard now. She’s looked great in practice. She’s going to be the key to our defense and should have a great year.”

Morgan and fellow senior Tara Murao joined Barnett, Valdes and the since-graduated Hallie Kennan in Bucknell’s 40-point club a year ago. Morgan was fourth on the team in goals (42) and points (49), while Murao ranked third on the team with 37 assists and fifth with 41 points. McBride will count on the only two seniors on the roster for plenty of leadership.

“I expect Krystle to be much better than last year and she was great last year,” commented McBride about his projected starting center. “Our offense focuses around our center and she is an important part for us to have success.”

A veteran of 90 games, Murao, who McBride says has a very high water polo IQ, ranks seventh on Bucknell’s career ejections drawn list (99).

Juniors Mackenzie Ferry and Heather Smith were valuable reserves a year ago, but McBride expects them to challenge for positions in the starting lineup vacated by Kennan and fellow graduate Becca Shopiro. Sophomore Barbara Pe-terson is in the mix to start as well given the success she had filling in for an injured Amanda Skonezney last year. Peterson totaled 26 goals and 12 assists, most of which came during her 20 starting assignments.

“Mack and Heather are both going to be starters,” said McBride. “They both understand my philosophy well and I think they have grown as athletes since last year. They are two people I can put in the water and count on with 100 percent confidence.”

Juniors Samantha Deana and Stephanie Ovalle as well as sophomore Sayeh Bozorghadad saw action in a combined 88 games a year ago, so they are no strangers to the pool. However, McBride predicted increased playing time for each of them given the improvement they each made in the offseason.

“Those three players have to be ready to make an impact and contribute off the bench,” mentioned McBride.

Junior Sarah Frank is also expected to add depth once again. She played in 16 games a year ago and netted five goals.

With a large seven-person freshman class, McBride will count on some of them for meaningful minutes throughout the season, but he cautioned about the adjustment from high school to college.

“They’re learning they aren’t as big and fast as they were in high school,” said McBride. “They are adjusting and getting pushed around right now, but they’ll learn and be fine.”

Among the freshmen expected to contribute early in the campaign are Han-nah Sunday, who will see playing time at center, Emily Nowlin, who is a strong offensive player, and lefty Eleanor Marrs, who has plenty of experience playing against men. Sunday and Nowlin, along with Barnett, each has an older brother who played or plays for the Bison men’s team.

John mcBride head coach • second season • rhode island ’92John McBride, who served as an assistant coach at Brown the previous 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 program, also has an extensive background with the U.S. National Team, serving as head coach of the men’s Northeast Zone Olympic Development Team since 2009.

Less than two years into his tenure, McBride has already guided the Bison programs for three seasons and been a part of 47 victories. He has led the men’s team to back-to-back above-.500 records and the program’s first Eastern Championship game appearance in nearly 20 years. Last spring he saw the women’s team collect 15 victories against a challenging schedule that included 14 ranked opponents.

While at Brown, McBride helped guide the Bears to unprecedented suc-cess. The men’s squad captured the 2009 Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division title, its first con-ference crown in nearly 25 years. Ad-ditionally, the team went undefeated in regular-season conference play in 2008 and finished as high as fourth at the Eastern Championship.

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

Both the men’s and women’s squads appeared regularly in the national top-20 rank-ings 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 had the highest team grade-point average in the nation for four years, while the women 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. “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 is 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 Development 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 col-legiate players and helps the U.S. Junior National Team Coaches bring the best players to represent the U.S. in international competitions.

An accomplished goalie during his playing days at Rhode Island, McBride 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 communica-tions, McBride attended the Rhode Island Department of Corrections Academy and the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility Corrections Academy and eventually graduated from the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy in 1996. He then served as a patrolman and SWAT officer for the North Providence Police from 1996 to 2004.

McBride got his start in coaching in 2001 when he founded the Newport 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-profit organization in Providence, R.I., in 2007. The club gives inner-city youth an opportunity to enjoy the sport of water polo.

McBride and his wife, Sam, have two daughters, Grace (12) and Lily (10).

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

The 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. Officiating assignments at the time were performed by an indepen-dent organization called the Eastern Water Polo Referees Association.

The next major milepost occurred in 1993, when the Southern and New Eng-land Conferences merged into the Mid Atlantic. The new structure combined 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 first major challenge, as the organization experienced a strike by its officiating corps. This

strike ultimately resulted in the organization establishing its own officiating bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its

officiating assignments. The confer-ence hired Tere Ma as its inaugural

Director of Officials and Loren Bertocci as its first Technical Di-rector. These two individuals laid the groundwork for the Officiat-ing 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 influence, 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 university receives major donation From dan and chris

richards to bolster men’s and women’s water polo proGrams

The 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. The pledge was made in honor of Coach Dick Russell, who was at the helm of the swimming and diving programs from 1968 to 1994 and created the water polo program at Bucknell, 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 gen-erates 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 stu-dent-athletes. The Russell Endowment will provide a lasting memorial honoring the lifetime contributions of the late Hall of Fame mentor to Bucknell’s varsity water polo and swimming and diving programs. It will complement a similar endowment established for the swimming and diving programs in 2002 by William D. Dearstyne ‘62 to honor former coach and director of athletics Bob Latour, and further under-scores the successful tradition of the varsity aquatics programs at Bucknell.

According to a Bucknell Career Development Center survey of the Class of 2011, 89 percent of the respondents were either employed or attending graduate school six months after graduation. Of Bucknell’s 838 graduates in that class, 812 (97 percent) responded to the survey. Of that portion of the class, 71 percent were employed, 18 percent were enrolled in graduate school, three percent were both employed and in graduate school part-time, and only three percent were still seeking employment.

Of those attending graduate school, 16 percent are pursuing degrees in social sciences and the humanities, 13 percent are in law school, 15 percent are pursuing advanced degrees in engineering and 14 percent are pursuing advanced degrees in medicine.

The mean salary for the 2011 graduates responding to the survey was $48,552 and was highest for engineers. The mean salary for a graduate with a bachelor of science degree in computer science & engineering was $56,882, and the mean salary for a graduate with a bachelor of science degree in business administration was $50,726. Graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences had a mean salary of $42,260.

Most 2011 graduates (82 percent) were employed in the Northeast, with Penn-sylvania (23 percent), New York (17 percent) and New Jersey (16 percent) leading the way. Among the most popular employers of Bucknell graduates were firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Consulting, Teach for America, Bucknell Univer-sity, United State Navy, Goldman Sachs, United States Army and High Performance Technologies, Inc.

Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,500 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For 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 Buck-nell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.”

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 develop-ment and civic and ethical responsibility;

Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange 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 necessary 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 approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.
